Wahoo Open The Road Ep. 1 – Foundations

Pro athletes are often put on a pedestal, surrounded by cameras, followed by reporters, revered for their performances. But at the end of the day, they are still human. In the “Open the Road” series we set out to show the characteristics, quirks, and distinctive moments that make these athletes human with the backdrop of performance. A team is something larger than oneself. It’s a living, breathing, organism that is directly affected by everyone and things involved. When built correctly, it takes on a presence and personality of its own.
