IN MALSEED’S OWN WORDS
Verbatim from Shannon Malseed’s appearances on the podcast.
“I entered with a bang I won the national championships that year as my first year as a pro and I think the having the green and gold Stripes really put so much extra pressure on me especially as a Neo Pro and then every race that I did that year was World Tour Women's World Tour and I was just getting thrashed like I was getting smashed and smashed and smashed and smashed.”
“I was putting so much pressure on someone else to believe in me and I wasn't believing in myself I wasn't backing myself I didn't have that inner worth and I was relying on my team to keep telling me that I was good enough or people in the pelaton to tell me that I was good enough.”
“Your Limitless potential that we talked about right at the start is the truth of you this is what you truly can achieve if you didn't have any limitations but when you have an emotional Block in other words a limitation that potential can't get through totally so if you're in a bike race and you just feel blocked it might be worth doing some digging.”
