TPM Episode 428: Alex Deibold, Professional Snowboarder, Olympic Medalist


Listen Later

Alex Deibold is an Olympic medalist with over 100 World Cup starts under his belt. Alex's success began at the Stratton Mountain School, and then he made the US Team at 18. While he was on the team, he never totally fit in. The world of snowboarding had a "high school" style popularity system and the fact that he liked the gym and working hard earned him the dreaded jock label is the sea of cool guys. But regardless of the lack of funding, sponsors, or fanfare, Alex was able to make the dream happen. It's a fun episode, and Nate Holland asks the Inappropriate Questions.
