So when I first moved out to Park City to try aerial skiing, my goal was to get that summer scholarship to be able to train in Park City for the summer, because I knew if I did that, then I could train and do my first back flips on snow. If I did that, I could have a good year on snow for the first time, then maybe the next year do doubles, and then doubles meant I could make the ski team. Ski team meant World Cup. World Cup meant Olympics. So it's like all these steps, but you have to start by looking at that first step in the ladder, because you can't get to the top unless you put that hand on that first step first. It's about all those short-term goals that really allow you to get those long-term goals, but it is important to have those dream goals, even if you don't get there, because it's all a part of the process of how you can accomplish all those other steps on the way up.The real reason why Winter kept studying while chasing Olympic glory[22:57] I've always really enjoyed learning, so that's been part of the reason why it's been easy in a sense for me to want to continue to do these things. But in another sense, I think it's good for my entire mental health as a professional athlete because if your only focus is on your sport and that gets taken away, that is extremely difficult. So with injuries, if you have a bad year and you don't get sponsorships, you don't have prize money that year; that can put so much pressure on a sport you love, and it can make it not fun anymore. And so I think it's important to have these other things to be able to look forward to in your life, and if I have a bad day of training, then that doesn't go well, but I can do something good in school and get a good grade in that or work on that to be able to have those other things to feel like I'm moving forward in other areas of my life, too. Because we can't all do sports, unfortunately, for the rest of our lives. An Olympian's hard-won lesson on letting go of everyone else's expectations[44:19] I would tell my younger self that it's your journey. It's not anybody else's. There's no use in comparing yourselves or trying to do things just to please other people, whether that be your parents or other friends or, like, coaches. This is about you. Like, what do you want, and how do you want to get there? And so, I think some of the time throughout my career, I've been so stressed about, like, "Oh, what do other people want or what's expected of me, or everyone thinks I should do this." And at the end of the day, realizing sooner that [I] believe in myself and believe that what I want is worthy and how I want to get there.Show Links:WinterVinecki.comTeam Winter | Charity OrganizationWinter Vinecki | LinkedInWinter Vinecki | Team USA ProfileWinter Vinecki | InstagramWinter's RiseDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

Winter Vinecki was born on December 18, 1998 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but grew up in Gaylord, Michigan. When she was 9 years old her Dad passed away from an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Winter formed http://TeamWinter.org  a 501 (c) (3) non-profit to raise money for prostate cancer research & awareness. She has raised close to $500,000 toward that effort and counting. (more…)

A marathon finisher on seven continents, an aerial skiing Olympic hopeful, head of a prostate cancer awareness foundation, and she’s just 15. That's just how Winter Vinecki rolls. She already holds a world record and she is nowhere close to her prime. She nurtures a healthy positivity that covers all eventualities. Should anything go awry, she's still on track to go to Stanford and perhaps try a little skydiving. Winter leaves little doubt that she'll succeed no matter her path.www.SpartanUpPodcast.com/030Lessons:1. A worthy cause is a great motivator.2. Active and supportive parents are great role models.3. Have a good backup plan.

Winter Vinecki’s father was diagnosed with prostate cancer when she was 9 years old. He passed away 10 months later, just before his 41st birthday. Competing since Age 5, Winter aspires to be a summer and winter Olympian In memory of her dad. Winter and her mother Dawn Estelle join us for this powerful mother-daughter Podcast interview. An interview about a family of champions born from two loving parents who valued free play, hard work and grit! Winter Lee Vinecki “Winter” Winter was born on December 18, 1998 in Grand Rapids Michigan.  She grew up in Gaylord Michigan and Salem, Oregon and now trains in Park City, Utah. After losing her Dad at the age of 9 to an aggressive form of prostate cancer, she formed www.teamwinter.org a 501 (c) (3) non-profit to raise money for prostate cancer research & awareness.  She’s raised over $400,000 toward that effort and counting. Winter began racing Triathlons at the age of 5 and completed her first Olympic triathlons at 9!  She went on to become the national Ironkids champ for 2010 & 2011 and finished her third year as the official ambassador of the sport. She was the 2011 recipient of the Annika Inspiration Award.  At that event she met Aerial’s Olympian Emily Cook who convinced her to try out for the Fly Elite Freestyle Aerials team in Park City.   After a weeklong camp, Fly Elite decided to sponsor Winter as a 2018 Olympic hopeful in Aerials Freestyle. This was a significant change in Winter and her family’s lives because joining this team requires Winter to live in Park City Utah with a host family for the foreseeable future. Winter’s Mom, Dawn and 3 brothers live in Oregon and they are able to visit as often as possible at races across the country and brief periods of downtime between training sessions. Winter, now 14 years old is planning to race in dozens of events throughout 2013, she’ll be focused on freestyle aerials throughout the Winter as well as completing her world record marathon attempt by the end of the year. She recently set a new world record as the youngest person to ever complete a marathon on Antarctica. She’ll also be racing in multiple running triathlons including the Xterra series. For Winter, it’s not about the attention. It’s about bringing vindication to her dad, who was given a death sentence in the form of prostate cancer; a disease in which one in six men will be afflicted with. She strives every day, sacrificing playtime and other luxuries kids her age take for granted to ensure that she is doing all she can to bring an end to this tragic and all-too-common disease. 

Mel sits down with 15-year-old, Winter Vinecki. When Winter was 9, her dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he passed away 10 months later- just shy of his 40th birthday. Wanting to honor her Dad, Winter started a non profit: Team Winter. In six years, Winter has raised almost half a million dollars for prostate cancer awareness, while running marathons on every continent. Now Winter is taking her awareness to a new level: The Olympics. Winter is training for Freestyle skiing and hopes to be competing in the 2018 Winter Olympics. An amazing young woman who has done more in six years for cancer awareness than most people have done in their entire lifetime.
