Now let the class begin.

What is the Olympics like? Was that the dream for you growing up? No. Well, there was a part of my

dream. I did, like I had a little notebook when I was younger that was like I want to I'm going to be

Olympic champion I think it was that something was like I'm going to be the youngest Olympic

gold medalist in history and that actually did happen but 15 15 16 how old I was I was

18 18 18 I was the youngest swall in gold medal. Sure. So there's an asterisk on that. But that was one thing I wrote like in a journal, but really mostly my goals had nothing to do with the Olympics. Like my goal was always, I want to be the best year in the world. I always looked up to Bodie Miller as my big idol and he was like at the time, you know, he won the overall globe.

He was winning individual races.

He was like, and he was inspiring people.

And one of my favorite movies of all time was his documentary Flying Downhill, which is like, I don't even know.

I don't know if you can buy it somewhere now like I don't I would

literally want to go back and watch it again but I'm not really sure where to find it because I

had it on a DVD and I don't like have a way to play it anymore but that was like my most inspiring

he really inspired me to truly be want to be a ski racer really he's like the reason I identified myself at eight years old as a ski racer and I just...

Did you watch him on TV or in the Olympics or what did you see him?

I watched him on TV, I watched him on...

We had...

We would get these DVDs every year.

It's called like World Cup winning runs and it's, you know, it's produced by US ski and steelboard.
