"I'm really excited to share this book with riders everywhere," Johnston said. "I hope that it's interesting and inspiring and motivates people to understand how they prepare best for their ride. I see riding as a life-long learning process and I hope this provides additional ideas and motivation to understand what helps them ride their best."

"Many riders, especially women, had contacted us and asked us for a book to help them with their confidence issues," Herdy said. "Tonya really delivers that."
Through the book, you'll learn how to:
• Become energized and overcome challenges
• Set short-term and long-term goals to track your progress
• Stay in the moment during your ride
• Develop a "ride plan" to ensure you accomplish your goals
• Use your breath to increase, decrease or center your energy
• Develop a positive attitude and overcome anxiety
• Communicate well with trainers, partners, parents or fellow boarders
The stories and quotes from other riders are inspiring to read to see how people competing at the top of the sport think, and to realize they have the same thoughts as everyday riders.
