The School of Greatness · She Threw Up Before Almost Every Race She Won | Mikaela Shiffrin · 13 Feb 2026 podcast

If it was about pressure, if it was about this or that, or if he just didn't really care because he was the kind of athlete who's like, I don't care about the one medal.

I want to experience this.

Whatever it is that feels fulfilling in that moment.

And it might not be winning the Olympic medal.

It might be like just experiencing the Olympic like scene in a different way.

And people always have an opinion and judge it and get right into it.

And I saw that as a as a child and I was like, I don't.

want to ever have to deal with something like that like do your thing why do people have to have an opinion about it right and the opinion itself is like adds pressure and that makes it harder i feel like that sort of watching him go through the the successes he had and the challenges that he faced gave me some insight into

like my own philosophy and what I find important in skiing, which is it's literally just about, like, it's kind of so boring, but it's just about the turn and making really good turns.

So it's like when you talk about the process and stuff, and I know that gets, I feel like in sports, people really, really...

Want to hear about like your goals that you want to be the greatest of all time, like the Michael Jordan story, like the I know you're going to be NBA champion, like you're going to do this, you're going to be the greatest and all of the hype and the pressure is built up and then he does it and it's like greater than...

And I've always been like, I don't think I'm going to do any of this.

I really just want to be a very good skier and ski well and ski fast.

And maybe someday I can kind of be the best in the world.

And if I can do that, maybe I'll hold on to it.

And now it's been like 12 years of racing World Cup where I've been more or less at the top level.

And it's still like I'm still in disbelief, but I still I always still go back to the days watching like my greatest race.

idols like Bodie Miller and Yanitza Kostlich and Anya Parrison and all of these athletes that I looked up to.

And I don't know.

It's just like you see the struggle that they have and you see it from an outsider's perspective.
