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?
people care judgment
I don't care what other people's judgments come down to-I care what my judgments come down to.
winning judging way
The way I judge myself is not on how many World Cups I can win in a row.
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.
whole-life whole
I've been myself my whole life.
fashion choices world
At this point in my career, I have the privilege of choosing my partners. In the beginning, you more or less take what comes in the door - or what matches up with your brand. But you're always subject to what's available, especially in the ski world where there are not infinite choices, especially on the fashion side.
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.
team racing shapes
My team has been very unreceptive about the fact that I consistently show them that I train slightly differently than they do, that I consistently show them that I am in better shape for ski racing than anyone else on the team.
athlete people priorities
People want athletes to cater to their image of what an athlete should be, but they also want them to fail so they can feel like their screwups are all right. If I make a priority shift, I'll make it because it's best for me.
memories kind hard
When you get old, it's hard to tell what's memory and what you've kind of created in your head as memory, you know?
unhappy way unhappiness
If you're unhappy with the way you played, what's the point?
careers issues arousal
Arousal-control has been an issue for me since the beginning of my career.
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.
