EP22: Industry Guest - Mitch Worrell

Joining us in the Moto Asylum for EP22 is Industry Guest, Mitch Worrell.

It was a blast having Mitch in-studio to record this episode. We chat about his current role as a riding coach for the highly regarded Lee Hogan Building Champions Program, and the responsibilities that come with mentoring the next generation in a high-risk sport.  But that is just the tip of the iceberg. 

Mitch has so many stories to tell of his time involved in motocross - from growing up with a track at home and a house full of bikes, the influence of BMX on his riding, training at MTF with Colleen Millsaps and working with Yarrive Konsky and the Firepower Honda Team in the US, to some of the pretty horrific injuries he's suffered. 

We also take a deep dive into some of the mental health aspects of the sport, such as the pitfalls of trying to live up to an "image", and the many ways that motocross  promotes personal growth. 

One of my favourite episodes so far - be sure to check this one out.
