Coffee Chatter

In this week's Chatter Radio show we chat about Tory's new coaching business/website ToryNyhaug.com.  We also preview the 2021 season opener in Phoenix this coming weekend, our thoughts on the track, the San Diego pro-am TB put on this past weekend, the difference between racing with fans and without fans, new sponsor signings in our sport (Freddy and J-Smooth) and of course the fan favourite LSKD True or False segment! (CChatter10 for a discount on any purchases LSKD.com).  Enjoy!

We were joined by Olympic silver medalist and world cup winner Jelle Van Gorkom! We chatted about his amateur career and winning multiple world titles, his early years on the Dutch national team, what it was like being on the team and being coached by Bas, how he came back from a very serious injury to win the Papendal World Cup in 2013, his Olympic experiences, and his 2016 Olympic silver medal.  Enjoy the show!

We also chatted about the recent news that Jeremy Smith has parted ways with Stay Strong, we discussed the positives and negatives of countries having Olympic trials, we stopped people from ever saying ‘warm down’(its ‘cool down’), we played everyone’s favourite True or False game, and we enjoyed multiple calls from friends.
