I think the support system around me, whether it's the coaches or the technicians or the
physical therapists or my girlfriend or my friends and family, they're the people that
help you focus on what you need to do.
Because when you're on the slope it's really just you.
But it takes a lot of work to get to that point where you can be prepared to be your
best.
My technician. So he's down in the ski room, the dungeon, slaving away,
pulling file and getting the skis sharp, for me to take onerun on them and say I don't like them.
There's a group of guys tweaking my ideas that I say, what I do and don't like,
different dimensions to play with, guys testing on the speed skis.
We're constantly weeding through equipment.
You can go out there and try to piece it together on your own.
But that's extremely taxing physically. It's extremely taxing emotionally.
There's just so many pieces that you have to put together on your own that it would
end up draining you and you wouldn't be able to race at your highest level.
The team behind you makes you so you can be the best you.
And that's really I think what's the most important part.
