60 Minutes Interview with Rafael Nadal
We can learn a lot from other sports and the world class athletes who rise to the top.   60 Minutes produced a very interesting piece on Rafael Nadal that has a lot of crossover value for ski racers.  Three takeaways for ski racers:
Work Ethic: the hard work and intensity he brings to his training and competition.
Mental toughness: his insight into the importance of embracing his doubts as an athlete.
Unfailing Sportsmanship: The importance of always being in emotional control.
 
A Matter of Time
This seven-part series from OutsideTV is a terrific documentary on Mikaela Shiffrin.
