This week’s conversation is with Carissa Moore, one of the most prolific surfers on the world stage.

At age 18, Carissa became the youngest person – male or female – to win a surfing world title and was the first woman to compete in the Triple Crown of Surfing, Hawaii’s most prestigious contest series featuring the world’s best male surfers. 

This year, Carissa became the first surfer in history to win a WSL world title and Olympic Gold Medal in the same year. 

This was also the first time the Olympics included surfing as a competition so Carissa was the first woman to ever win Gold in this event.

I was fortunate enough to work with the U.S. Surfing Team in Tokyo – it was incredible – all of it.

The team dynamics, being able to play a part in representing the United States of America, and to support the four surfers in their competitive pursuits. 

In this conversation, we discuss some of the ingredients for Carissa to win Gold in Tokyo: the support system she had growing up, her approach to preparing for high stakes competition, and why her ideal competitive mindset has evolved over the years.
