In this episode, I sit down with Ross Dunlop, a Scottish-born mountain bike and snowboard coach who’s spent the last 20 years in Whistler and co-founded the SportsSense app.
We dive into the mental side of riding - hesitation, commitment, reading terrain, and staying strong when things get tough. Ross shares his journey from Scotland to Canada, from snowboarding instruction to year-round coaching, and how his thinking around progression has evolved.
We talk about using frustration as a positive sign of growth, breaking down skills like manuals, managing confidence and risk, and how a coach’s energy shapes rider belief. We also explore how technology can support in-person coaching, and why small, consistent gains matter most in the long run.
