Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Your first step of the BMX career began, literally, in your mother’s womb. Your mother started having contractions while watching a BMX race. Born into the sport, you followed in the footsteps of your two older brothers and competed in your first UCI World Championships, in the Challenge class, in Louisville (USA) 2001. You were ignited and made competitive BMX cycle racing as your career and reached the pinnacle of success by finishing fourth overall in the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup with two podiums and two fourth-places.Tell us about your journey that took you to where you are now in the world of competitive BMX cycle racing and what factors you consider were responsible that made you achieve that?
Ms. Stefany Hernandez:
I’m living in Switzerland since january 2013, training at UCI World Cycling Centre with French Thomas Allier, that is one of the factor cause I’m improving every day on my BMX career. My journey come with around 5 to 6 hours training in two session, there is a training center with all that we need, a huge BMX track, velodrome, gym and restaurant.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
How could you overcome the element of fear in BMX cycle racing as a sport?
Ms. Stefany Hernandez:
Fear is a bad word for me, I decide to delete it from my mind, because it does not give anything positive. Fear is enemy of success so the less you have the more you shall be able to achieve your goals. It is just about living the moment, enjoy the all single things that are happening and give your best so in that space you don’t have time to feel fear. It is your choice.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you shall like to share?
Ms. Stefany Hernandez:
Work couples of time a week at the gym, doing squats-cleans-jumps-etc. Riding at BMX track, velodrome and some time road ride. We train 6 days a week and 2 sessions a day.
