179: Do You Need a Mentor? With Coach Connors Mentor, Glenn Swan
If you\u2019ve listened to Fast Talk for any length of time, you\u2019ve likely heard the name Glenn Swan. That\u2019s because Glenn was Coach Connor\u2019s first and, arguably, most influential mentor in the sport of cycling. Trevor has gone so\xa0far as to say\xa0that\xa0without\xa0Glenn\u2019s influence, he probably would not have become the cyclist he became.\xa0Thus, Trevor often refers to lessons he learned from Glenn\xa0on the show.\xa0\n\xa0\nWe\u2019re excited to have Glenn on this episode to discuss many facets of mentoring, including\xa0his\xa0definition of that\xa0seemingly simple term, as well as the benefits of having a mentor,\xa0and\xa0the differences\xa0between mentors and coaches,\xa0plus\xa0much more.\xa0Glenn\u2019s influence wasn\u2019t focused solely on Trevor, of course. He served as a mentor to many in the Ithaca, New York cycling\xa0community where he lived and trained.\xa0He helped shape the careers of many great cyclists, and we\u2019re very pleased to have him share his wisdom today.\xa0\n\xa0\nWe\u2019re also joined by a collection of\xa0several\xa0wise athletes and coaches today, including pro\xa0roadie Erica Clevenger, former elite cyclist Adam Wisseman, endurance coach Daniel Matheny, legendary\xa0coach Joe Friel, and author and coach Jim Rutberg.\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
