This week on Deep Cover, I sit down with Olympic skeleton athlete Andy Whittier to explore one of the most extreme sports on ice. From a late-blooming football career in Idaho to chasing his Olympic dreams headfirst at 80+ mph, Andy shares how betting on himself led him from walk-on tryouts to the edge of international competition.

Topics include:

• What skeleton racing actually is
• Andy’s unlikely path from D3 football to Idaho State and beyond
• The sacrifices Olympic hopefuls make
• How team dynamics shift in individual sports
• Why chasing speed became a calling for Andy
