I was recently interviewed on the Student of the Game podcast about the Psychology of the Tour de France. In the podcast, I explore the psychological and emotional challenges of racing for 21 days in pursuit of the “maillot jaune” (the coveted yellow jersey of the Tour de France winner).

In the podcast, I introduce listeners to the complexities of professional cycling (I’ve worked with several pro cyclists and teams), the role that emotions, pain, and uncertainty play during the three weeks of the Tour and how the riders deal with fatigue, setbacks, and stress of the Tour.
