Joining the Canadian Ski Team, First Season Reflections, & Goal Setting with Britt Richardson
Who should you keep your eye on for the next generation of great skiers?
Today, I’m talking to Canadian ski team member, Britt Richardson. After graduating from Burke Mountain Academy in Vermont, Britt Richardson entered her first full season with Team Canada in 2021/22. Despite hiccups throughout her training and competition that past couple of years due to COVID-19, Britt has overcome any challenges thrown her way and had a successful first World Cup appearance. Britt is talented, kind, hard-working, mature, and an all-around amazing person and athlete.
As athletes, we can always learn from others, no matter if they are older or younger than us. Each of our journeys are unique and the more we can come together, the more we can move the sport forward and achieve our goals. The next generation of athletes' determination, hard work, and drive is inspiring to watch. The future of skiing is looking so bright!
Tune in and listen to episode 4 of season 2 of Unspoken Bravery. Britt and I talk about her transition from the Burke Mountain Academy to joining the Canadian ski team, the highlights of her first season, how her family’s history of skiing has inspired her, what her first World Cup experience was like, what her advice is for young women in sports, how social media impacts young women, and more.
