In this episode, I talk to Shrinidhi Urala. Shrinidhi is one of the brains behind the CyclingBrainRacing team, an upcoming strong racing team from Bangalore. Shrinidhi finished 3rd in Karnataka state national selections race and got to the Nationals 2023. In this episode Shrinidhi shares his cycling journey from doing fun rides in Udipi on his sister's bike to racing at the nationals. We talk about the importance of coaching, having a team to support you and the difference it could make in one's journey. It was a lovely conversation with a hardworking working athlete.

About the Podcast

The working athlete podcast is a podcast with and for working athletes from all walks of life and various sports. The goal is to provide inspiration, training tips, mental hacks, time management and life-style advice through conversations with some of the best in sport, from athletes to coaches. If you think you can benefit from this, please consider subscribing so that you don't miss the weekly episodes in future.

Who is a working athlete? Someone working fulltime/part-time, entrepreneur or anyone who has to work to make ends meet and doesn't let being busy to stop him/her from pursuing an active lifestyle is a working athlete. I consider stay at home moms/dads who pursue a sport, as working athletes because homemaking is a full-time job.
