Michael recently sat down with Sid Bensalah of the podcast to discuss building resiliency and sustainable high performance.

In a wide-ranging conversation, they discussed:

➡️ The inspiration behind founding Metta Performance and its evolution from Metta Endurance.
➡️ Why aligning values with performance is crucial for long-term success.
➡️ How principles from endurance coaching translate into leadership in business.
➡️ Strategies for managing stress, preventing burnout, and building mental resilience.
➡️ The role of technology, such as wearables and data analytics, in modern coaching.
➡️ Balancing high-performance work with rest and recovery for sustainable results.

It was a great conversation and well worth a listen. Link in bio.

A Different Way to Help!

🌟 Building More Than Trails – Building Futures! 🚵‍♂️💙

At KICL, we believe in the power of cycling to develop leaders, advocates, and changemakers. Our student-athletes don’t just ride—they serve, build, and give back to the community. Through trail stewardship and advocacy, they learn skills that will shape them for life.

Your support as a sustaining donor ensures that every kid in Kentucky has the opportunity to grow through cycling, regardless of background or financial barriers.
