Carson Mattern 2025 Christmas Special - The Return

The Return of Carson Mattern

Holiday Special · My Girona Podcast

Some stories demand a sequel. This one demanded a comeback.

Carson Mattern returns to My Girona Podcast — and returns to the bike, the spotlight, and the city that helped him find his edge.

After a brutal crash at the 2025 Tour de l’Avenir left him sidelined with a broken ankle and fractured vertebrae, Carson faced one of the hardest challenges of his career: slowing down. This episode dives into what came next — the quiet work of rebuilding, the identity shift of stepping away, and the decision to return on his own terms.

Now training out of Girona and gearing up for 2026, Carson opens up about:

• How he navigated recovery without rushing the process

• The mental game behind elite-level setbacks

• What Girona means to him — and what it's like to train here with purpose

• What “The Return” really feels like when your whole future is back on the line

If you've ever come back from something — or are in the process of doing so — this conversation will resonate.
