Lewis Askey - Professional Cyclist - Train Your Mind to Conquer Life's Hardest Races

Your body gives out long before your mind has to. The question is whether your mind is trained to take over when it does.

In this episode, Dan Metcalfe joins professional cyclist Lewis Askey who breaks down the mindset behind competing in the world’s toughest races. The lesson is simple but powerful. The race is never over until it’s over and those who stay mentally present are the ones who create opportunities others miss.

We talk about real performance, staying focused for hours, adapting instantly when things go wrong, and turning setbacks into momentum. No hype. Just clarity, discipline, and execution.

When pressure rises, your mindset decides the outcome.

Take this with you. The version of you that stays locked in will always go further. Tune in to the full episode of Born SuperHuman: Train Your Mind to Conquer Life’s Hardest Races with Lewis Askey.

Your body gives out long before your mind has to. The question is whether your mind is trained to take over when it does.

In this episode, Dan Metcalfe joins professional cyclist Lewis Askey who breaks down the mindset behind competing in the world’s toughest races. At only 24 years of age, and the Champion of the Junior Paris Roubaix, Lewis has already raced in the Tour De France, Vuelta Espana and Giro D’Italia. In 2026 he finished 13th as the youngest rider and first British rider across the line. But what was even more incredible is that Lewis’ time was faster than all previous 122 winners.

The lesson is simple but powerful. The race is never over until it’s over and those who stay mentally present are the ones who create opportunities others miss.

We talk about real performance, staying focused for hours, adapting instantly when things go wrong, and turning setbacks into momentum. The mindset is that of a champion and the sotris shared, the details showcased and the passion is awe-inspiring. No hype. Just clarity, discipline, and execution. When pressure rises, your mindset decides the outcome. Take this with you. The version of you that stays locked in will always go further.
