Shaun White

And I was in that pressure cooker situation where I was like the last guy to go.

It's one run.

That's it.

I'm closing it out.

And I was like...

okay this is this isn't gonna go well so you said to yourself beforehand yeah this may not go well yeah so oh for sure I just kind of had a feeling which is awful and it's hard to just snap out of that last second and and so after that olympics everything I did at after that was like okay well it wasn't a physical thing that kept me from winning it was a mental thing

Interesting.

And so I'm like, what do I do now?

Because it's easy to go, I wish it was physical.

I'd go do some sit-ups.

I'd go learn the new hard trick.

I could do whatever.

It was mental.

It was like, okay, how do I make myself like or fall in love with this thing again?

Like, how do you make yourself, you know, love somebody else even?

You know what I'm saying?

In that same wheelhouse, it's like it's not an easy thing to do.

Or, you know, reignite that excitement.

And so I literally did everything that had nothing to do with snowboarding.

I was like, okay.
