On this episode of Seasoned Athlete, we're talking to professional sky diver Amy Chmelecki. She's done over 19,000 sky dives, broken 20 sky diving world records, holds 5 world titles and 10 national titles…and that's just some of it!In this episode, we discuss…-  How participating sports can help you find confidence-  Why trying new things (even if they scare you) is so important-  Why having a growth mindset helps with achieving your goals-  What it means to be a woman in a male dominated sport…and more!Connect with Amy here: https://www.instagram.com/amychmeleckiHere are some highlights…Amy's early athletic lifeI didn't discover athletics until about 14 and when I finally did, something completely changed in me. I remember realizing like, ‘wow, I'm good at this,' and before that, I never really had felt good at anything. As a child, I was like, ‘I'm not smart, you know, just like kids stuff.' And on the field, I felt good. Things were moving fast, I could really see things more clear and I could move better. I had asthma growing up, really bad, so it didn't come easy running around on the field, but there was something about it [field hockey]. The moment I discovered athletics as a young girl, it completely changed my life.The first time she went sky divingI went to a sky diving facility with a friend of mine, who I still skydive with to this day, he's on the Red Bull Air Force with me. That first day when I walked on to a drop zone, which is another name for a coding facility, I saw just all these amazing, happy people, and that was in New York. I grew up outside of New York City, and people weren't always happy like that. This was in 1996, it was a different time. People are happier in New York these days.I walked into the ski facility and I realized that it was something that you could do [professionally], that it could be part of your life. Until that point, I just thought you did it once or you were in the military. I didn't really understand. And pretty much from that moment on, I never looked back.All about the sky diving community It's like-minded people that are enjoying [the same thing.] It's people from all walks of life. Maybe you're hanging out with a brain surgeon, and a lot of times you don't even know what they do for years, and it'll be someone in this intense insane career. I was a bartender to pay for my skydive in the first five years when I was becoming a professional sky diver. So you have really this big range of people, but everyone enjoys sky diving and for the most part, everyone is so nice and happy. It's a total sub culture once you're in it.What it means to be a pro sky diver There are a lot of different avenues you could take to become professional in the sport, believe it or not. There's a lot of opportunities and different roads you could take. It's also a nice sport that you can do into your 40s and 50s. I have friends that are still going strong in their 60s as professional skydivers so it's really a great sport. I have one friend that was on his way to being a professional soccer player, and he was sky diving too and he saw that as having more longevity, he could do it for longer, so he decided to take that path and he excels now.Right now I have three main aspects to my hustle. I work with Red Bull, they sponsor me on part of the Red Bull Air Force, and that's about a third of what I do. We do demonstration jumps, and we do project-based social media projects and VIP tandem experiences. We'll take the IPs on tandems and they're such an amazing company to work for. They hired me when I was 36. A lot of people think that Red Bull doesn't work with older athletes, but yeah, they hired me when I was 36.I also coach different groups within the military, and that's also a big part of what I do. And then I work with a non-profit called the Women's Skydiving network It's a great endeavor. When we can, we're gonna do a world record, but it's a huge endeavor getting 100 women together to break a world record for sky diving.Amy shares why it's important to uplift other women sky divers It's always been a drive of mine from the beginning. There are not a lot of women that sky dive at all, and I always used to wonder why. I would hang around the drop zone and it would be like me and 20 guys. That is still a lot of the normal though it has changed in the last 25 years since I started sky diving, but I was always thinking ‘Gosh, it'd be nice to jump with a bunch of women. So even as a very young sky diver, I would get groups of women together and say, ‘Hey, let's all do jump together.”And it really was just a different feeling because it was so rare to get to do it. It was just usually a lot of men, which I'm really not complaining, that was also kind of fun... Let's face it as a 18-year-old girl. That was fun.It also became apparent that other people wanted to do it, so it was an easy way, not only to do things that got me motivated and were helpful to other women, 'cause it was inspiring when people saw women reaching certain goals and making this great things happen, but it was also something I could hustle, something I could do and make a business out of, so it was kind of an easy, clear path for me.Robin shares her own goals for helping women become athletic It's nice to help other women see the side of themselves that you were able to see at a much younger age. This is something that I really stand for too, as a coach, and part of this podcast is that I want to help women see this potential in themselves. When many women have been conditioned to think that things like skydiving are just not for them, and to be able to open up that opportunity and you're doing it by example, you're showing what's possible, you're helping to create opportunities for other women. I think it's so important because we are under-represented in many sports, it's just how it is.Amy's experience working on stunts in HollywoodI feel like a lot of my career, I can't deny it it has to do with luck. I met some really amazing people early on in my career, and they got to kind of watch me grow, including the Captain of the Red Bull Air Force. They also do a lot of stuff in Hollywood, they're based in LA and we do a lot of cool stunts. Generally, if I fit the description, so it's gotta be kind of a blond woman around my height and around my build, I will get that job. That doesn't always happen, but when it does, it's so awesome 'cause Hollywood, anything you do where it's like a big stunt like that, it's always so challenging and you're with a group of extreme professionals!The challenges of breaking world recordsWorld records are a little bit like that. They're brutal through the process. It's freezing, you're jumping over and over again. You're getting the same sky dive over and over again. People are getting exhausted. You're having to cut people from the sky dive 'cause they're not performing, which is always heart breaking. But the whole thing is, it's about the journey. Every job we're getting better, but really it's like, it's about the journey. When you're done with it and now that's in the record books, that's where the reward is.Amy's perspective of the unique challenges of being an athlete over 40 I was afraid getting a bit older. I started thinking, how much longer can I do this? And am I still valuable? I wasn't sure. I was so used to this concept of like “Oh, I'm gotta be young to do this.”Then there was this awakening in my 40s where I'm like, ‘Wow. I still have a lot to offer.' I have so much experience to offer people, and although I've had to refine my performance and my strategy where I'm not doing 12-15 skydive a day, every day training for world championships like I used to, I'm bringing all my skill set and all my connections and all the experience I have,So it really, it has been nice that discovery of how much you do have to offer.I would say on the physical side, obviously any athlete in their 40s knows that it gets harder. You have to take more care of yourself. Big time. It used to be that I could stay up and hang out and socialize and have beers and then just travel across the world and get somewhere and then go to work the next day, and now I'm like, I have to really plan more strategically, make sure, I'm hydrated, make sure I'm rested.Amy's Parting Words of WisdomI would say be open-minded. Be in that growth mindset. I can't imagine a life without trying to wake up every day and be open-minded to being a better person. Don't limit yourself.

Sean MacCormac, legendary Red Bull Skysurfer, perfected the skill “INVISIBLE MAN” - a self-propelled spin exceeding 12 revolutions per second. He also participated in the development of the Space Games Free Fly Competition , but in this podcast interview we discuss the sport of Skysurfing and Sean tells us what its like to fly in a thunderstorm! It's an interview you won't want to miss!! “There's no more surreal landscape than the sky,” MacCormac says. “And jumping through clouds is the most magical thing in the world. You're shooting towards a cloud at 100 miles per hour, flying along a face, and you're seeing all these different colors that you don't see anywhere else. And then there's lightning, and the whole cloud around you illuminates. It's terrifying and beautiful at the same time.” Currently, MacCormac is a member of the Red Bull Air Force, promoting the sport of skydiving around the globe. He is also a stuntman who performed stunts for movies such as “Iron Man 3,” “Godzilla,” “Point Break” (the 2015 remake) and “The Hangover Part III.” Follow Sean and his adventures here: https://www.redbull.com/ca-en/athlete/sean-maccormac https://www.instagram.com/seanmaccormac/ =======================================   NEXT WEEK: Mr. Hardy Fink, the former Director of Education at the Olympic Gymnastics Federation (F.I.G), discusses how traditional education systems are developed in Olympic Sports, how the sport of trampoline developed and where it is going!

Choose the Hard Way

Jeff Provenzano, aka Jeffro, makes his living skydiving, BASE jumping and wingsuit flying as a member of the Red Bull Air Force. Jeff is a stuntman who has appeared in films including Ironman 3 and Godzilla and he is a champion competitor with over 20,000 jumps under his belt. He has trained elite military units in canopy flying and has been part of multiple world record-setting group jumps. He has insane energy and if you follow him on Instagram @jeffprovenzano, you’ll see that he trains as hard as any pro athlete in the NFL, NBA or other pro sport. In this interview, we talk about how he forged his own path from art school and skateboarding to becoming one of the foremost human flyers on the planet and what he had to give up to make it happen. I originally connected with Jeff because of something he posted on Instagram that is the embodiment of what it means to choose the hard way (you can see the original post on Instagram here): “I want to share something with all of you. In case you were wondering, or maybe this just gives you insight on how my world works on a professional level. I receive many messages from you, my followers, showing positive support and encouragement and I appreciate that and love you. On the flip side I also receive messages like, “must be nice to get everything for free” or “how do I become a Red Bull athlete and just travel around like you?” Some people have never made a single Skydive and they want to do what I do. Seriously. I get messages like this all the time and I am blown away (also somewhat entertained) by how blind and lazy people are. It’s good to be a dreamer and I am one too, but if you want to know how I got to where I am today it is simple. The answer is so simple, but no one wants to hear it. First of all, if anyone knows anything about sponsorships and working relationships with companies you will know that nothing is free. It’s a real job. Second, if you are looking for the magic wand, well, there is no such thing as magic. The simple answer is you gotta do the work. You have to be the hardest worker. You have to want to work and be driven to work. By no means am I sitting around playing video games waiting for the phone to ring because I am a world class champion skydiver and I think I deserve this or that. No one wants to work with that person. Instead put the controller down and start doing something that will get you one step closer to your dreams (unless you want to be a pro gamer then that’s cool) So instead of waiting for the genie to pop out and turn your lazy ass into a successful whatever it is you dream of becoming, try clearly defining your goals, create a realistic plan on how to get there and start grinding, today. There is no other way. Be relentless and work your ass off to get there. Life is what you make of it. So dream big, make a plan and work on that plan every damn day! If that seems overwhelming, take it one step at a time like a marathon runner. Start with a clear understanding of what needs to happen to cross that finish line. It’s not an uber. There are no short cuts. Determination will get you there.” -Jeff Provenzano  Thanks so much to all of you who have given me a shout to let me know you’re digging the show. Very much appreciated !

Miles Daisher is a legendary canopy pilot and wingsuit flyer with more than 7,200 skydives and 4,500 BASE jumps. That’s more known BASE jumps than anyone on the planet. He may also well embody more stoke than any human on earth. He’s a member of the Red Bull Air Force, a specialized human flight team of expert pilots and has worked as a stuntman flying in films including Ironman 3. In 2005, Miles set a BASE jumping record by launching 57-times in a single day, climbing a total of nearly 29,000 vertical feet and performed a record setting 737 BASE jumps in one year.  In June 2017 he reclaimed this record by completing 63 BASE jumps in 24 hours. He lives in Twin Falls Idaho which conveniently has a bridge where he can BASE jump whenever he wants and the conditions permit. Miles is also a dad, husband and motivational speaker. In this conversation we discuss filling sandbags, how Miles came up in the sport with his close friend Shane McConkey, when you should be your own biggest critic and why he likes to take walks.

When a pro athlete makes their living jumping out of an airplane, it’s easy to think they’re super human with an immunity to fear and the mental minefields of emotion. That’s not the case for professional skydiver and Red Bull Air Force member Amy Chmelecki. Throughout her life, self doubt and emotional turmoil was as consistent as Amy’s need to pursue skydiving; from low self esteem and dyslexia in childhood to a constant desire to control outcomes in adulthood. But with the help of therapy, Amy was able to decrease her need for rigid control and became more malleable with her approach and reactions to life. Amy used flexibility to find success.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode follow Colleen and I as we take a sight-seeing flight along the south shore of Long Island. We start of from Brookhaven airport (KHWV), fly along the south shore beaches and then circle the Montauk lighthouse. This was Colleen's first flight in the PiperSport and her first time flying with me since I received my private pilot's license.I try my hand at recording in-cockpit audio. I hope to show everyone how to get flight following and how easy it is. Even in the busy New York airspace.During my flight I make 4 mistakes. Have a listen to find out what they are and I hope others will learn from them.Shoutouts:1) PJ Gustafson and The 1940 Air Terminal Museum in Houston, TX.Each year the museum gives away a vintage Cessna aircraft in a raffle to raise money for the continued operation and restoration of the museum building.
