former NZ cyclist
5:50 Moments that often define your future, key learning from Gilbert Enoka, Mental
Skills Coach
6:50 Pivotal coach feedback
Following your heart and trust your instincts
Highly talented, Suzie had the option of pursuing either basketball and cricket; she went
with what she loved, cricket.

life: that it is possible to achieve your dreams, if you go after your goals.

There are certain moments that you can be make a conscious choice that really define your

One coach, early on in her career, said that she wasn’t at the fitness level that she needed
to be. She pivoted from a victim mindset to a growth mindset where she took on the
challenge head on.

you do with it that matters.”
