I don’t usually comment but… I think what I love most about Kate Courtney’s story is how she found her motivation again after taking a step back from the sport. I mean, who hasn’t felt like they’re losing their way at some point? 
For me, that part of her journey resonates so much – the struggle to find purpose and fulfillment outside of just winning competitions.
I also love how she’s using her platform now to inspire more girls into mountain biking and life in general. It's such a powerful message about embracing the unknown and pushing your limits.
And I gotta say, her motto is something I try to live by too – taking risks and staying focused on my own process.
I think what’s also really cool is how she’s not just focused on her own success, but on using her platform for good.
It's a great reminder that even in the midst of competition and achievement, we can still use our voices to uplift others and make a positive impact.

So what I took away from this is that success isn't just about achieving something, but about how you feel along the way. Kate Courtney could've easily given up on mountain biking after her wrist injury, but she chose to use it as an opportunity to re-evaluate and find a new purpose in the sport. That's really inspiring So I've been thinking, you know when people talk about how there are certain athletes who are just naturally born winners? Like they're destined for greatness? I don't buy into that idea, I think anyone can be successful if they put in the right mindset and work ethic. For Kate Courtney, it was all about breaking free from this pressure to perform and find a new sense of purpose in her sport.
I love how she talks about stepping away from racing and re-evaluating what she wanted to achieve – it's like she realized that success isn't just about winning, but about being true to herself. And that's something we can all relate to, you know? We've all been there at some point where we feel like we're stuck in a rut and need to make a change.
For me, what's most inspiring about Kate Courtney is the way she's using her platform to inspire others – especially young women who might not see themselves as being part of the mountain biking community. It's all about empowerment and showing them that they can be powerful and confident, both on and off the bike.
Anyway, I think we can all learn a thing or two from Kate Courtney's approach to success – it's not just about winning, but about finding your own path and staying true to yourself. And if you're feeling stuck, just remember that taking risks and staying focused on the process is key

.I mean, can you believe Kate Courtney is saying that stepping away from racing was actually a good thing for her? Like, what's next? Someone telling us that taking a break from Netflix and scrolling on socials is the secret to success 
. But seriously though, I love how she turned her season around by focusing on the process instead of just results. It's all about finding that balance, right? And it's awesome that she's using her platform to inspire young women into mountain biking – like, go girl!
