It's easy to leave a job when you're miserable. It's way harder when you're happy. And David Wise loves his day job.
And that's why the 34-year-old freeskier has decided to push to make his fourth Olympic Team despite being one of the older competitors in freeskiing.
"I still love going out there and grinding and doing this day in and day out, and so I don't want to stop before I feel like I'm done," David said.
David is a three-time Olympian who has won two gold medals and a silver in ski halfpipe.
His trophy case is full of titles and awards he's won since he was a teenager. At 34, he's a veteran of his sport. But that's not the only thing that makes him stand out.
David is also married and a father of two. That's unusual in his sport and he's always said having a family has given him a balance many athletes lack. His daughter homeschools and sometimes travels with him to training and competitions.
"Now, my daughter's 13 years old," Wise said. "She has teenager problems."
