The Downtime Podcast

Today we are joined by Santa Cruz Syndicate's Nina Hoffmann. Nina dives into her approach to optimising mountain bike performance through a focus on coaching, technique, process, and psychology. We also explore her fascinating university project, which examines the use of hypnosis to enhance downhill racing performance, and get a glimpse into her upcoming PhD journey. Nina shares what it’s like to join one of the most high-profile teams in mountain biking, the pressures of wearing the Syndicate jersey, and much more. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Nina Hoffmann.
