aspect athletes came direct kids message parents pedestal people promote supposed trying
To the people who I don't have any direct interaction with: fans, just people, parents who are trying to put all athletes up on a pedestal and show their kids what they're supposed to be like. Obviously, the message that came through was not something that I would promote or (what) I'm about in any aspect of my sporting career.
fun kids winning
We should tell our kids to just have fun, participate and not get bent on winning or losing. But every coach, when they say that, they say it tongue in cheek, 'Don't worry about winning': If you win I'll get you ice cream, but if you lose I'm going to pout in the car.
running kids wife
Some of them I probably would like. Some of my fans probably beat their wives or run over little kids and they just happen to watch me on TV and like the way I ski. Obviously I clearly wouldn't like that person if I knew 'em better.
kids school thinking
When I was little, I spent a lot of time by myself. When other kids were in school, I was skiing and thinking about things. I was alone on the mountain.
kids years figures
I can take $15,000 a year and raise kids on that. Later, they'll figure out I've got millions, but hopefully they'll have the values to say, 'So what?
kids equipment used
One kid's old, used-up equipment is another kid's brand-new, awesome, awesome equipment.
babies children cool kids liked spent three time
My sister has three kids so I've spent a lot of time around children and I've always really liked them and wanted my own. It's cool because you think all babies are the same but they aren't at all. They all have such different personalities. It's crazy.
battle downhill finished good half people
I've straddled probably more times than most people have finished slalom. It's a drag, but the downhill was good and I made it to the finish. That's at least half the battle for me.
finished people
I've straddled probably more times than most people have finished slalom.
chance coming great ski
I've not had a great slalom all year, but I feel the slalom is coming together. I know I can ski well on the downhill, so I have a chance in the combined.
olympics stuff
The stuff after the Olympics was pretty aggressive.
confusion criteria hoped moment objective positive reflect
I skied the way I hoped would reflect a positive objective. There's a discrepancy there. There's a moment of confusion and disappointment, but my objective criteria was satisfied.
competition cup
The World Cup has no competition at the moment, the whole thing is a little rusty.
finger instead nice
I don't have to put a finger on it. That's what's nice about being me instead of you. You're the one that has to put a finger on it.
