Eurico Da Silva

Eurico Da Silva
From a difficult childhood in Brazil to becoming a leading jockey, winning the Queen’s Plate, battling addiction and anxiety, and ultimately finding recovery, Eurico Da Silva shares a deeply personal story in this episode.

Now a sports psychology coach and author of Racing for Freedom, Eurico opens up about trauma, mental health, performance mindset, and the importance of focusing on what you can control. He also talks about his work with retired thoroughbreds at The Long Run and how horses continue to play a major role in helping people heal.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
