Episode 6 - Mind Over Matter - a podcast by BORA-hansgrohe

In this episode, we take a step back from the racing and look at an issue that is increasingly important within our society and our sport - mental health. To deliver the very best elite sporting performances, riders must be in top physical shape. But it is also vital to ensure their minds are in good health too.

We speak with Max Schachmann, Lennard Kämna, and Peter Sagan about pressure, media scrutiny, and confidence. Team manager Ralph Denk talks about how the team supports the riders and coach Dan Lorang explains how he keeps the riders motivated and focused, despite the extreme pressure of professional cycling. We also hear from team nutritionist Robert Gorgos, who talks about the risk of eating disorders in a sport that demands extreme weight management.
