Favorite place to visit in Minnesota?
I have only been to Minnesota once so far but the Theodore Wirth Park Trailhead was beautiful!
Favorite thing to eat during a workout?
My favorite thing to eat during a workout is a mini rice krispy treat.
What's your favorite technique?
My favorite technique is skate skiing.
What keeps you motivate?
What keeps me motivated is pushing myself to be the best skier I can possibly be every day and skiing for my teammates and all the work we've put in together.
Tip for improving as a skier:
My best tip for improving as a skier is to focus on the small aspects of every workout and training day and treat them as all equally important. This helps me stay focused and compartmentalize all the important aspects of being a successful athlete.
How do you want to make the community better?
I want to help to inspire youth to chase their goals and grow through being a leader and helping others.
