sports mistake winning
In some ways, that's the story of my season - when I wasn't making big mistakes, I was winning races and being on the podium. And when I made mistakes I was still fourth or fifth, just off the podium.
sports mistake skis
When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.
sports hurt years
My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself.
sports winning thinking
But there was no question in my mind that I was gonna still go for it. I was still going for the win. I wasn't skiing for second or third place today, and in the end I think that's probably what got me there.
change sports focus
Once the season starts for me, there isn't a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies.
sports racing skiing
I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.
based basically bunch causes deals exploring helping network online options social sports turtle worthy
I've been exploring different options for when I'm done skiing. I have the Turtle Ridge Foundation, which is helping a bunch of worthy causes around the Northeast. I've also started SkiSpace, which is an online social network that basically deals with all things based around any snow sport.
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.
