Pressure, Panic Attacks and One of Cycling's Greatest Comebacks - Demi Vollering

Fresh off one of the most remarkable victories in professional cycling, Demi Vollering joins Going Mental to unpack the mindset behind her dramatic Giro d'Italia Women comeback. Just days after completing an extraordinary Grand Tour triple, Demi opens up about the final stage that changed everything, why she was willing to risk losing her podium place to win it all and the mentality that allows her to thrive when the pressure is at its highest. Jan and Demi dive into the defining moments of her career, including racing with a broken back at the Tour de France Femmes, dealing with panic attacks in competition, overcoming external expectations and why she believes movement is one of the most powerful tools for mental health. From the mountains of the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France to the deeper lessons about resilience, identity and courage, this is an honest conversation about what it really takes to become one of the greatest cyclists in the world.
