We talk a lot about moderation. But how does that concept fit in the lives of elite athletes? Do they really practice moderation and balance? We could think of no better person to explore these concepts with than Rebecca Rusch. Not only has Rebecca maintained a dominating career as a professional athlete for over 30 years (to the tune of 7 World Championships and an induction into the Mountain Biking Hall of Fame), she has led an incredible charge as an ambassador and activist outside of racing. Her movie, Blood Road, won an Emmy and paved the way for her to reconnect with her community through philanthropy and creating her very own cycling event in her hometown of Ketchum, Idaho.
If all of that isn't impressive enough, wait until you hear Rebecca's account of how she's come to find a deeper appreciation for human connection, using the bike as a catalyst. As she explains, all of those years of racing were preparing her for her greatest role: that of being the best version of herself for others.
