This week we welcome Gold Medal Winning Freestyle Mogul Skier Jonny Moseley. At the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan and as a member of the US Ski Team, Jonny won the Gold Medal in Freestyle Moguls by executing a trick called the 360 Mute Grab. Four years later he would continue to influence the sport of Freestyle Moguls by executing an off-axis 720 degree spin called “the dinner roll” in competition. It was the first time in FIS Competition that off-axis / inverted tricks were allowed.
In the first segment we discuss his past and family dynamic growing up skiing at his home mountain of Squaw Valley at Lake Tahoe. As a husband and father, Jonny shares his thoughts about skiing now that he has different priorities with a lingering desire to perform at a high level whenever he's on snow. Also, he talks of life as a young freestyle skier and shares his secrets for how to not just win at practice, but win at competition! You won’t want to miss this.
In the second segment, we talk about life after skiing. Among all his post gold-medal pursuits, he is the only skier to have hosted Saturday Night Life and continues to provide color commentary for the Winter Olympics, He has narrated the annual Warren Miller films starting in 2008 with Warren Miller’s Children of Winter. He shares his belief about effective coaching and how a great mentor was the difference in his skiing that resulted in a gold medal.
