- The ESPYs! What a trip...Iiterally.
TBH…I seriously did not think I would win the ESPY. And, I kind of blacked out a bit on stage. But, I hope I at least got the message across about records, inspiration, how grateful I am for my entire support system, and setting the tone for the next generation to be great humans both on and off the mountain (or whatever their playing field is) and to maybe-hopefully-even reset my record one day.
I had a lot more that I would have liked to say…but it seemed best to keep it simple, hopefully not too long, and a bit more focused than my typical scatter-brained tangents😅. Especially when in shock🤣…but here are some of the thoughts I left out:
While in LA, Lewis Howes asked me, “what is greatness?”
I started thinking about actions, and people, and achievements…but then I realized that maybe greatness is not any of those things. Maybe it’s simply a feeling. It’s the shivers you get, up and down your spine, when you experience, or witness something that makes you feel grateful and SO lucky to be alive. Greatness is a moment, it happens to us, around us, and because of us, all of the time.
The amount of greatness in the room at the ESPYs…that was astounding to me. I felt so lucky to be there amongst so many spectacular athletes and people. Honestly the nomination alone was the win for me.
Over the past few years, something I’ve learned is that the one thing that we can all relate to above everything else, is that greatness can not exist without struggle and failure. Not for me, not for anyone in the room that night, or anyone who might have been watching on TV…
As Janet Fitch said, “The Phoenix must burn to emerge.”
People will root for you on your rise, all the way to the top, then they’ll get bored of you being on top. They’ll cheer for someone else, anyone else. They’ll actually cheer for you to fall. And they will tear you down further when you do fail.
You will fail, it’s unavoidable…and it will hurt. It’s supposed to hurt. My greatest failures have been the most defining moments in my career. The pain from them is etched into my memory, and that has guided me to work harder and smarter and keep improving.
The people around me, my whole world of support, have picked me up, dusted me off, and reminded me again and again that the most important thing above all else is simply having the courage to try, despite the chance that I might fail.
So to those people, I just want to say thank you.
To my team, my teammates, my friends. Taylor, Kristi, Aleks…especially my Mom-I absolutely would not be where I am without you…you are my greatest inspiration. Dad, we love you and we miss you so much. Lastly, thank you to ESPN and the #ESPYs for this recognition again, and congratulations to all of the nominees and winners this year.
Thank you all for the outpouring of love and support. Really. I got the chance to talk about body shaping underwear up on that stage because you all voted and you support me through thick and thin-thank you.
Love,
Mikaela

If I say the you winning the ESPY is well deserved, it will not do your talent and accomplishments justice. You truly are once in a generation athlete and one of the top female performers ever in sports. Not the mention being so well-spoken and humble and basically showing how a true champion should be both inside and outside of their field. Many congrats once again!
Wow. Thank you so much.
@@mikaelashiffrin Thank you. I am not saying this lightly or just because I am a fan of yours. I honestly think, when we look at the last 20 years or so, only two female athletes can compare with your accomplishments, longevity and versatility and they are Serena Williams, and probably my all-time favorite, Allyson Felix, which makes it an elite company, which you deserve to be in.
On or off the slope, this is what greatness looks like. It's how we approach and experience the journey of life.
Love this! It is after all just sport. But great athletic talent is a joy to watch! Now for the love of Pete.... PLEASE ALL OF YOU ATHLETES STOP RECORDING WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING!!! As a Fire Captain you have no idea how many dead people I have to take out of cars or that cars have hit. The single most dangerous thing we do as humans. Full attention! At all times. When you talk, you visualize what you are talking about and that is not full attention! Keep up the amazing skiing and remember, who is the boss!!!!! (Your outside ski is the boss!!)😍
Watch more closely, When she's in the car talking she's in the passenger seat. Her Barilla badge is reversed along with the car.
Ah yes... Brain damage is real!!! Thanks !!!@@skierpage
Congrats and WELL deserved. ☺️
Amazing skier athlete. Amazing person too. Onto 23-24 season!!!
Moving Right Along...🙃
loving these Beyond the Slopes episodes and your School of Greatness episode was really inspiring and insightful.
Yay! Love to hear that!! Thank you for stopping by...
Congratulations - it is well deserved!
As I watched all the media pandering and LA fashion glitz, there was a brief moment when I feared that might have changed you a bit. Thanks for keeping it real at the end. 👍
Brilliant and magnificent 😍🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️💙🤍👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
The post workout “look” of determination that morphed into “no shit” is motivation personified! Should be on a poster guys. Yet another lesson from the team of all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes and in the off season that enables the fun times and great results in season. Inspirational and a well deserved win and great condor on the School of Greatness podcast also. 👌

Peace Love and Understanding☮❤🫂
Brilliant. I didn’t see the espys. I’m glad you won. I like your take on it at the end x
Bravo Mikaela! 👏You are great inspiring example for many of us. 🌹
From Russia with love! ♥️
Impressive and well earned -- congratulations!
Greatness
Brilliant, Mikaela Shiffrin.
I love you Mikaela to the moon and back 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Great and well deserved Mikaela. You're the goat 🐐 ❤
Truly inspiring. ❤
I didn't know such a machine exists
🤩🤩🤩
How can winning be the definition of greatness, when winners only measure their victories by who they beat to earn them, and how much work it took to do it?
Мика ты лучшая, Мы с Украины
💙💛🌹
8:39 here's another example of greatness

Gee I hope you’re not driving…
Me too!!!!! Would hate to lose her to an accident for a silly mistake 😢
Watch more closely. She's in the passenger seat, you can see her Barilla badge is flipped.
Congrats Mikaela on another well deserved award! You should never write another acceptance speech again because you win when you don’t. I think greatness is how you live your life and you and Alek are doing an great job. Wishing you both the best of everything. 🩷
