The Past, Present and Future Of Des Linden
How to adapt and adjust a career during a transition between disciplines.
Starting Line
It’s always fun when we are joined by another podcaster, this episode was a fun way to compare notes and dig into the burning questions we have for a high profile athlete who is making a very significant change to her career. Chasing a completely new discipline requires a lot of change outside of the race course as well, and Des gave us the inside scoop on how she’s thinking through all of it.
