Ski or Die

Ep 13 — A Father’s Day Tribute

In this week’s episode, Elizabeth touches on her most recent tournament PB and her debut on TikTok. Then we reminisce on our dads’ unique backgrounds and how they have contributed to and impacted our skiing. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads of water skiing!

Ep 12 — Is “It” Worth Preserving? A Conversation Around Slumps

After a brief hiatus, we’re back with a life update about Elizabeth’s experiences at the LCQs and the why behind all the ski testing that Stevie has been up to. Then we spend some time talking about slumps and how “holding on” to what you’ve got is the enemy of moving forward. In fact, it often leads to feeling completely out of control.

Ep 11 — The Overrated / Underrated Show #2

We’re back this week with one of our favorites — The Overrated / Underrated Show! First we kick off with a really exciting life update for Stevie and what it means for the future of his ski career. Then we crack a beer and go on to rate a variety of topics including The WaterSki Pro Tour, zodiac signs, and coaching your ski partner. Enjoy!

Ep 10 — Audit your Circle NOW

This week’s episode is a difficult conversation but is near and dear to our hearts. What do you do when the people closest to you don’t believe in you? We dive into how our circles have positively and negatively impacted us and why we can’t let other people’s opinions guide us on the journey. Your success is 110% YOUR responsibility.

Ep 9 — Change Your Perspective on Tournament Nerves

We’re back this week to talk about tournament mindset, specifically managing nerves on competition day. We pull strategies and analogies from how we’ve been coached and our own experiences that we think shine light on “nerves” in a new way.  We talk about micro-goals, perspective, and why “pressure is a privilege.”

Ep 8 — The Two Minute Drill #1

Another new format we love — the 2:00 drill! We answer your questions about if it’s possible to train ski skills off the water, what it’s like coming back from injuries, whether or not we have days when we don’t feel like skiing, our favorite Zero Off settings by boat, and more. We hope you enjoy this format as much as we did and submit your questions next time!

Ep 7 — Your Disclaimers are Slowing You Down

We kick off this episode with a little life update, including nearing the end of our bulking season and our experiences finishing 21.2 of the CrossFit Open. It was during 21.2 that we saw how frequently people add “disclaimers” to their experiences and how that ultimately holds them back. We go on to discuss why we think the subconscious habit of disclaimers can create a disconnect between skiers of all levels — from the recreation free skiers to the seasoned pro. However, in reality, we are all truly on the same page: the love of water skiing.

Ep 6 — Community Ask: The Motivation Myth

With so many of you asking us to address the issue of “motivation,” we couldn’t put this episode off any longer. When you’re in your pursuit of greatness, it can feel impossible to stay motivated 24/7. But maybe you don’t have to? In this episode, Stevie and I dissect the role “motivation” has played in our careers as athletes — both in the gym and on the water — and how to elevate yourself past the need for motivation in the long run.

Ep 5 — 11 Years in the Making — My Thoughts on “Haters” in Water Skiing

Reflecting on my experiences as a junior skier at ski schools, training with pro skiers and pro coaches alike, I discuss how “haters” are the deeper, systematic roadblock to growing the sport, and how we all have responsibility to be better in the face of wrong. I wrap it up with my framework for handling critics in all areas of our lives.

Ep 4 — The Overrated : Underrated Show #1

Introducing a new segment on the Ski or Die podcast, we rate popular topics on the scale of overrated to underrated, including Moomba Masters, being sponsored, and Britney Spears.
Yeah, you read that right.
