Description
June 30, 2020 Todd Poquette of 906 Adventure Team Show Page ABOUT THE EPISODE Todd is always a force in the event world. He brings a can-do effort, a positive attitude, and a will to keep moving forward. Todd joins Ben to chat about the current atmosphere, the pandemic, events, and other life things. Todd has been a big supporter of all things Mountain Bike Radio over the years, so be sure to check out what he has going on up around Marquette, Michigan. ABOUT THE 906 ADVENTURE TEAM: "U.P. native and outdoor enthusiast Todd Poquette formed 906 Adventure Team in 2014 hoping to fill a void: While there were race teams and a handful of group rides, there weren’t any groups welcoming youth or adults new to the bike scene. At the same time, he learned through youth programs and event direction that people weren’t drawn to mountain biking just to compete. For many the allure was deeper, more personal – about adventure. We’re not coaching for a win Tuesday night, we’re coaching skills for life Big wins and difficult losses create lifetime memories and growth. What can kids truly take away from a championship season? We want them to prioritize effort, embrace the failures, develop positive habits, and focus on the journey. A win on Tuesday night is fun – and can provide some great stories to tell – but the habits they develop and the work they learn to enjoy will serve them down the road more than the win itself. There’s a certain level of maturity needed to view setbacks as opportunities, and through cycling we are helping kids develop a way to do that." ----------- RELATED SHOW NOTES Marji Gesick - https://marjigesick.com/ The Crusher - Enhanced Gravel Adventure - https://crushergravel.com/ The Polar Roll - https://thepolarroll.com/ 906 Adventure Team - https://906adventureteam.com/
