In this episode, we hear from Yoann Barelli. For those that aren't familiar, Yoann hails from Nice in the south of France and has been racing Mountain Bikes since the tender age of 7 years old. From there he went on to have numerous successes, including becoming the French Elite DH champion in 2004, and multiple podium finishes in the Enduro World Series after that.ย
Over the past few years, we have seen Yoann pivot towards free riding, getting creative, and of course, having loads of fun! He shares this incredible passion and energy through his coaching Business, Into The Gnar, which he launched back in 2020 and has completely blown up from there!ย
Yoann also curates a yearly free ride extravaganza in the Sea To Sky which sees some of the world's best Pro Riders and up and up-and-coming athletes test their limits on some of the most technical and high-consequence features in the area.
In this inspiring conversation, we cover:
- New sponsors and new bikes
- His mental process from start to finish
- How to use humour to help boost your mental game.
- How to use breathwork in your riding
- How he assesses risk
- What he has learned since becoming a mtb coach
- His specific Visualization strategy
And so, so, much more.
We rode the Double Black Green Monster trail in Whistler prior to recording this chat and it was epic to see his processes and decision-making in action - I highly recommend watching that video over on my YouTube channel @jakejohnstone.
You can follow Yoann on Instagram @yoannbarelli and YouTube @YoannBarelli and check out his Into The Gnar Coaching here.
