Episode Summary:

Ian shares a powerful coaching story from the Three Peaks Challenge, a 235km cycling epic capped by the infamous “WTF Corner.” His client was spiralling: doom-scrolling negative Facebook threads, stressing about the weather, and echoing others’ doubts in her own language. Together, they flipped the script: tightened the inputs, reframed her self-talk, and used targeted visualisation to mentally rehearse the toughest sections so her brain could match her body’s preparation.

This isn’t just for cyclists. Ian maps the same tools to presentations, high-stakes meetings and any moment that matters, shift your language, choose the voices you let in, build evidence, and picture success before you step up. The result? Less anxiety, more certainty, and the confidence to face your own “WTF corner” with composure.
