Episode 144: Emily Lang (Jockey) - Racing, Resilience, and Rising Fast

Описание: Jockey Emily Lang joins Chris Titley for her first-ever podcast — a candid look at the life, pressure, and discipline behind one of the toughest jobs in sport. From 3:30 a.m. starts and 10-horse trackwork mornings to riding in high-stakes races, Emily breaks down the preparation, mindset, and sacrifices that most people never see.

She talks about handling nerves in the barriers, navigating the realities of weight management, and the strategy that separates good jockeys from great ones. Emily also opens up about being a young woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry, building resilience against criticism, and why preparation and confidence matter more than anything in the saddle.

With honesty and clarity, she reflects on her biggest career win so far, the mentors who helped shape her, and the “keep showing up” attitude that anchors her during quiet runs. The episode also explores the rise of female riders, the role of social media, and the extreme demands of racing’s year-round calendar.

Bright, disciplined, and grounded — Emily shows the mindset of an athlete determined to keep rising.
