Despite All The Pressure And The Caliber

Arousal-control Has Been An Issue For Me Since The Beginning Of My Career.

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.

I Had To Think About Ankle Torsion, Where The Screws Are On The Ski, How That Affects The Forces Going Into The Ski And How The Ski Bends, Your Leverage Points. It Was A Challenge. I Was Having The Greatest Time, Making The Mistakes, Crashing.

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?

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.
