American Downhiller Podcast: Bryce Bennett is winning

Bryce Bennett, the U.S. Ski Team’s latest speed skier to win a World Cup, is the guest on Episode 5 of the American Downhiller Podcast. The 6-foot, 7-inch Californian joined LEW, AJ, Daron and Marco for a fun and interesting conversation that includes a turn-by-turn description of his winning run, how he mentally willed himself to ski his best while in the starting gate, and how he looks to take this confidence into Bormio, Kitzbuhel, Wengen and Beijing.

Bryce also talks about the American Downhiller tradition of spending the Holidays in Europe, Secret Santas and his plans for Bormio.

This Episode is especially relevant to coaches as Bryce shares his thoughts on coaching “unique” athletes, how speed coach Randy Pelky keeps it low-key and what fitness training looks like for the big man.

Next up for the American Downhiller Podcast is a conversation with reigning Bormio super-G champion RCS as he talks switching equipment, Bormio’s challenging track, and having a “Gold Medal Mom.”
