Episode in French.
Isabeau Courdurier is a professional enduro mountain bike racer.
When she did her first cross-country race at the age of five, young Isabeau was already showing an unwavering determination that never left her throughout her career.
Invited to an enduro race, she found a new lease of life for her passion. She was far from imagining that within a few years she would become the queen of the discipline, winning the World Cup overall three times and then the first enduro world championship title in history.
Isabeau’s story is above all that of a passionate young woman who achieved her wildest dreams one after another, despite the hardships life put in her way, and who today is opening a new chapter by putting her career on hold to become a mother.
In this episode, expect to discover:
– What led her to enduro and how she managed to rise to the highest level in the world.
– How mental preparation helped her face life’s hardships and overcome her blocks to become the athlete and woman she is today.
– The difficulties she faced as a woman, how she came to accept herself, and her advice to girls and young women to do the same and give the best of themselves
– How enduro, and mountain biking in general, are evolving, the growing place women are taking in them, and the challenges that remain.
– The place she chose to give motherhood in her career, and why she insists we don’t say the word “retirement” just yet
– And much more…
