How Mikaela Shiffrin Handles Pressure & Overcomes Heartbreak | Just Women's Sports Podcast

The world’s most dominant ski racer discusses her love of training, handling pressure, and overcoming heartbreak.
Record-breaking ski racer Mikaela Shiffrin sits down with Kelley to talk about the influence of her family on her ski career, how she built her foundation by focusing on training rather than competing (and why, if she could, she’d only train), why she never felt pressure as a teen prodigy but does so now, how she recovered from a near-crash to win Olympic gold, what made the 2018 Olympics such a complicated experience, her record-breaking 2019 season, and what she’s learned about herself in the wake of her father’s passing.
