Arousal-control Has Been An Issue For Me

I Don't Care What Other People's Judgments Come Down To-i Care What My Judgments Come Down To.

The Only Mental Games In Ski Racing Is The Mental Game Against Yourself. Is The Whole Goal Of Life Preserving Your Life As Long As You Can? No. The Goal Is To Enjoy Your Life, Challenge Yourself, To Sometimes Make Stupid Decisions-which Are Sometimes Fun And Sometimes Idiotic And Sometimes Just A Big Fat Mistake You Regret.

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.

You Feel The Olympics And You Get Chills And Nervous And A Little Scared. You Go Through The Emotional Roller Coaster At What It's Like To Compete At The Olympic Level And You Let That Run Through Your Whole Body.
