Episode 81 of The Mental Game brings aboard World Champion mountain biker and mental performance coach Sonya Looney.
As one of the top mountain bikers on Earth, Looney won four USA National Championships and a world title in 2015. In ultra-endurance events, she raced for up to 24 hours at a time in locations ranging from the Himalayan Mountains to the Sahara Desert, where she not only pushed her own limits, but gathered insights she now uses as a coach.
In her coaching role, Looney focuses on helping high performers deal with perfectionism in their craft. Looney also hosts the Grow the Good podcast, which serves as a guide to continual personal growth and positive world impact for her many listeners. The teachings of Positive Psychology color many of Looney’s philosophies — she holds a Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and a Master’s in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Neuroscience.
