change sports focus
Once the season starts for me, there isn't a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies.
people three should
The same people who recognize I came out with no medals should recognize I could have won three.
mom mother daughter
My daughter's name is Neesyn Dacey but everyone calls her Dacey. Her mom chose Neesyn and I chose Dacey after she was born. The mother is a good friend of mine who I was seeing a while ago. We are no longer together.
people faces watches
People in the U.S. will watch anything if it's put in front of their face over and over again. I like to see what's possible, more than anything.
sports racing skiing
I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.
kids school thinking
When I was little, I spent a lot of time by myself. When other kids were in school, I was skiing and thinking about things. I was alone on the mountain.
whole-life whole
I've been myself my whole life.
sports mistake skis
When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.
sports hurt years
My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself.
sports mistake winning
In some ways, that's the story of my season - when I wasn't making big mistakes, I was winning races and being on the podium. And when I made mistakes I was still fourth or fifth, just off the podium.
fun regret mistake
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.
wish would-be feels
If I could wish one thing for anyone, it would be to not have to do anything his entire life-just go along and when you feel like doing something, do it.
winning accomplishment pressure
Despite all the pressure and the caliber of accomplishment, I still can honestly say that it's not all about winning.
kids years figures
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?
