The Nick Bare Podcast

In this episode, Lucy Davis, who recently became a BPN athlete, discusses her journey as a hybrid athlete, the importance of setting challenging goals, and the satisfaction that comes from the struggle rather than the achievement itself. Lucy also opens up about her experience with imposter syndrome and how she's learning to combat it by setting both performance and personal goals.

The conversation revolves around the evolving mission of BPN and its focus on creating an inspiring training environment, culminating in an exciting preview of upcoming challenges and the importance of living life passionately.
