In this episode, we flew in the air and did a number of flips and twists along the way to land safely on the ground (OK, "we" didn't do that, but out guest certainly does) as we talked with Olivier Rochon, a member of the Canadian Aerial Skiing Team with Freestyle Ski Canada, and recently selected to represent Canada at the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Olivier's story is one of perseverance and gaining an understanding of one's self; in that, he has experienced every emotion imaginable during his career to date. From near qualifications, injuries of varying severity, and taking time to discover what drives and motivates him as he flies down that ramp and flies into the air. He has gone through so much, learned so much, and has come out the other side one of the strongest athletes that you could compete against.
We talked about his journey within his sport, discovering your drive, the mindset of an aerial skier, and the idea that perfection may actually be the taboo instead of failure.
