Man does this tug at the heart strings. I have been where Frances is only my husband was in the Army and when he got orders to Germany I had to leave everything behind. It helped that I was a former soldier so I understood and accepted having to move but it's a lot different when it's to another country, culture and language. Frances, honey, you are not defined by your husband's job but by your willingness to be by his side and support him AND finding your way in a life you weren't expecting. That takes more strength and courage than most people realize. The sacrifices made by this entire family are why Neilson's parents are still married, why Neilson and his sister are so well adjusted and it's why Neilson and Frances will succeed in their marriage, with raising kids and in life in general. In a world where individualism is promoted ad nauseam (and as a result so many marriages, relationships and friendships crumbling to dust) it's beyond refreshing to see this family living life as we're meant to- for each other. Is it easy? No, but it is worth it. Good luck at the TdF Neilson and to all of EF Education! Y'all are going to shine.
Mrs. Neilson got me choked up. They are all sacrificing for each other and that is just so special to see their love and support! GOOD LUCK NEILSON IN THE TOUR!🤗
@@danihawkinspreissler8017 I know his first name is Neilson 🤣 I was trying to differentiate between his wife and his Mom (who would be Mrs. Powless also 😊)
It was awesome to hear the perspective of Francis. I couldnt imagine how hard that would be to leave dreams and go to Europe. I love how this film was made showing the crazy strong support around Neilson. Also judging his career based on how ready he is to be post career is wise as hell. Bring that fire at the tour!
This is the best video content a cycling team has ever put out, hands down. His parents and wife are absolutely gold, Neilson is very lucky to have them.
This is exactly why I love EF, and this is what makes your team just that much more special. Cannot wait to see the TdF, I'll be cheering for pink the entire time.
I’ve been following Nielson (literally) since he was 19. I thought I knew him but this video truly demonstrates why he is the amazing person he is. Knowing his background makes us all love him even more. To see clips of this video played during the broadcast today was incredible. This family deserves all the support and praise we can give. You demonstrate the best America offers. Thank you.
I'm super gratefull to be apart of this project by doing the audio mixing. This is a great story with genuine people showing that the support network goes beyond the team and sacrifices are made by everyone in and out of the spotlight.
Hearing Mr neilson about his own dad and wife and kids and being there for them is so awesome it's hard but very rewarding men out there who read this love your wife's as Christ loved the church and be there for your kids and love them you will be blessed
Beautiful family. Everyone - Neilson, his wife Frances, his sister Shayna, and parents Jack Powless and Jen Allred-Powless are strong athletes. Great foundation for life. Beautiful film.
Neilson is an amazing athlete/cyclist, and even a more impressive human being! So proud of him, and his sense of family and relationships is most remarkable! THIS is what it's all about in the end! Best wishes to Neilson in the Tour de France polka dot jersey pursuit, and his building of a family with Frances ❤🙏
I'm not crying, you're crying. Such a lovely film x

aww you're so sweet. (as a side note, Neilson is his first name. So his wife would be Fran Powless. =)
She is going to be a great mom.

Love the comment. “Neil is my middle name he’s my son and that’s why he’s named after me, Neil’son 🤣🤣🤣”
What a legend!! 💪🏻
I like NP even more now. I knew something was special. Thanks for sharing. Very emotional watching as a parent. ❤

Great video. The whole family just radiates "balance" to me.
Papa Powless got life figured out if you ask me
Hearing Mr neilson about his own dad and wife and kids and being there for them is so awesome it's hard but very rewarding men out there who read this love your wife's as Christ loved the church and be there for your kids and love them you will be blessed
Woah so good to have a docu featuring the best thing in the world ❤
Man I just knew Nielson had some Indian in him. that’s what’s up, warrior!
The Powless family is amazing!
It's crazy to see a rider in the tour that is from the same Tribe as me. He is definitely my favorite rider!
Beautiful family. Everyone - Neilson, his wife Frances, his sister Shayna, and parents Jack Powless and Jen Allred-Powless are strong athletes. Great foundation for life. Beautiful film.
Gotdamn it's gotta be tough to move outta Sacramento to some beautiful European mtn town. Praying for ya, Francis.

The dad’s grin when he tells us his son’s name is, in fact, a dad joke 😂😂 “Neil’s Son”
Wow. What a lovely family and couple. Rooting for you, Neilsson!
Great video, very touching, wish you guys all the best during the Tour. Vive la tour!!
So great to see the background of a rider and how people around him are backing him up to be the best he can be on and off the bike
the wowww factor is all over this video, go go go Neilson, greetings from the Netherlands.
I love this! I will be rooting for you in the #TDF.

Family IS really inspiring. It's weird, but being with family gives an energy, like you can go hard and you know nothing bad will happen.
That was so nice to watch. Thank you
Such a beautiful film and such amazing people ❤

Ok that was great.
❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤
Okay, fan.
Nice a-frame
Well, goodness. I know who I'm rooting for.
My silly sense of humor. I wonder if Neilson is carrying more upper body strength from all the lifting, from the rehearsal out in the woods.
FUCK, this is so good!
How many likes can I give this?
Wow a video supporting a strong nuclear family and decent children. I’m almost stunned.
No cycling? :(
