"As I've become more senior in my career, many aspects of my training have become very repetitive, simple, and boring. But it is the very simple and repetitive actions that have allowed me to be better at the parts of the sport that need me to be dynamic and adaptable." (Athlete, 11 Jul 2021)

Feels confident in his physical abilities, his equipment, and the team around him. "I think my biggest challenge will be the way I manage myself throughout the season, with energy/fatigue management, and belief in my skiing. Confidence and trust in your skiing go a long way and are easy when things are going well and difficult when they are not. Having and using the right tools to turn things around if they are not going how I want will be the keys to my season. And right now, I am confident that I have them and know how to use them."

When he was a club athlete at Banff Alpine Racers, he remembers looking up to the Alberta Ski Team athletes. "They were bigger, stronger, and faster than me, and I wanted to get there.

Wherever you find that connection, I think it's good to use it to get ideas to improve yourself or confirm that certain things you are doing are effective." (banffnorquay.com, 11 Feb 2020)
