In this episode, you will learn:  As a young teenager, Haley Smith developed an Eating Disorder and how the sport of Mountain Biking changed her life.
How the cancellation of 2020 Tokyo Olympics turned her world upside down. How she dealt with the change and looks forward to Tokyo 2021.

Hi, my name is Haley Smith, and I am a professional mountain bike rider for the Norco Factory Team and Canadian National Team. I am a Commonwealth Games bronze medallist and have landed on the World Cup podium in bronze position. 

Currently, I am training for the Olympics in Tokyo. I am also an anorexia survivor and am very passionate about mental health; my aims are to improve how we talk about mental health and illness, increase societal literacy on these issues, and increase the “toolkit” young athletes employ in navigating issues such as these.
