Instead of releasing a new interview this week, we wanted to pause and reflect on some of the incredible conversations we've had in 2024. This episode celebrates some of our favorite moments from interviews this past year, including snippets from our full conversations with each of these athletes. To name a few, you'll hear from: -Kokona Hiraki, World Champion skateboarder, talks about her love for the evolving nature of skateboarding and its inclusive spirit: “Once you master one trick, there’s a new one to try. It keeps evolving. Skateboarding is just really fun, and there’s no age limit.” -Gia Trevisan, Italian Olympic sprinter, recounts how a transition from soccer led her to embrace the 400 meters despite its challenges: “I didn’t love the 400 meters. It’s probably the worst race, but it’s always better when it’s over.” -Farida Osman, Egyptian Olympic swimmer shares her journey to coping with expectations and pressure: “I realized I need to work with a sports psychologist to cope with expectations and pressure.” --------
