Theodore Sharp "Ted" Ligety is an American alpine ski racer and a two-time Olympic gold medalist... (wikipedia)
My parents never pushed me to ski race. It was my choice and something I really wanted to do. I would have rebelled if they had pushed me, and I wouldn't have had the same passion.
I don't do ski racing to be famous.
I feel very confident in my skiing. I know I have a good chance to win any race I start.
I think it is important to let your kids have independence and ownership. Let your kids do what they have a passion for.
It's the nature of the beast, playing sports on the ski team and how competitive all of us are. I want to beat everybody's time.
