Olympic skier AJ Hurt is the ultimate "bring your kid to work" success story. Her dad is on the ski patrol at Palisades Tahoe resort and AJ grew up hanging out with her dad on the mountain. AJ competed for Palisades Tahoe before making it onto the U.S. Ski Team as a teenager. "I was 16 when I raced my first World Cup. No one knows what they're doing at 16!" says AJ. But AJ figured it out quickly. She's an eight year member of the U.S. Ski Team, a three-time U.S. Alpine champ, and competed in the 2022 Beijing Olympics. She's as dedicated to her studies as she is her efforts on the snow. AJ studied engineering at Dartmouth. And, she's an accomplished musician as well. Fellow U.S. ski team members rely on her piano skills for impromptu singalongs on the road during the ski season. We caught up with AJ during off-season training in Tahoe to talk about how to maintain life perspective while competing at such a high level. On this Dying to Ask, The Road to Milan- Cortina: What AJ does in the summer to get ready for an Olympic year The role music plays in relaxing her brain And we'll enjoy an impromptu concert in an history Olympic Valley, CA chapel from AJ

Former World Cup downhiller Dean Lucas opens up about the crash that left him temporarily paralysed, the terrifying minutes where he thought he'd never walk again, and the identity crisis that began long before he retired. Dean speaks candidly about losing his competitive fire after COVID, the emotional spiral of recovery, rebuilding his life from rock bottom, and discovering purpose beyond racing. Raw, vulnerable, philosophical, and surprisingly funny — this is Dean Lucas unfiltered on the moment that changed everything and the reinvention that followed
In this episode, Michael sits down with Steve Tashjian, a world class high performance consultant with a deep background in elite sports. Steve's journey has taken him from physical therapy and performance coaching to high level consulting roles across the Premier League and the US men's national team during their World Cup run. His mission is simple and powerful: help individuals and teams excel in high pressure environments by applying the same systems, preparation, and mindset used at the top levels of global sport. Inside the Premier League Pressure Cooker Michael and Steve explore the intensity of the Premier League, a global powerhouse where fans live and breathe every match and where underperforming teams face immediate consequences through relegation. Michael draws a parallel between the world of professional football and the realities of modern business. Both are unforgiving. Both require consistent high performance. Both reward teams that are disciplined, adaptable, and built on strong systems. Steve reinforces that managing pressure is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Whether you are a Premier League striker or a CEO carrying payroll, the demands are similar. Pressure reveals your habits, exposes your preparation, and tests your ability to stay composed when everything is on the line. Turning Pressure Into a Growth Advantage Michael and Steve dive deep into what separates those who crumble under pressure from those who rise. Drawing from Steve's experience with the national team on the world stage, the lesson is clear: preparation and process win. When everything around you is chaotic, your systems and habits become your anchor. They discuss how organizations of all types can treat pressure as a growth opportunity. High achievers are not born for pressure, they train for it. They rehearse. They refine. They use adversity as data rather than judgment. Michael highlights that leaders who adopt this mindset build teams that are far more resilient and far more adaptable to change. Systems, Structure, and Leadership at Scale The conversation shifts to the backbone of any high performing environment: systems. Michael and Steve explore how elite sports teams like Everton Football Club create frameworks that guide decision making even in constantly changing conditions. When systems are well defined and widely understood, teams can move with speed and clarity, even when the stakes are high. Steve also speaks to the human side of leadership. Biases, emotions, and external pressures often influence decisions more than leaders realize. Great leaders build awareness around these blind spots. They collaborate intentionally. They take smart risks instead of reactive ones. Michael underscores that systems and leadership must coexist. Without systems, leaders get overwhelmed. Without leadership, systems fall flat.

Hey friends, sometimes it can be hard to find that gift for that special person who enjoys soccer. I just wanted to quickly share a couple of resources that might be great gift ideas this Christmas season. I recently had a couple of conversations with some friends and suggested a couple of devotionals to fit the need. The Light is Coming, The Five Women You Meet In Faith and Football, and more recently, The Soccer Psalms, are all faith and football/soccer related devotionals. It could be a great tool or resource for helping to encourage a child or grandchild in their faith and in seeing the way that their faith can relate to soccer. The Light is Coming is also written in Spanish and Portuguese as part of our 2022 FIFA Men’s World Cup outreach. The Soccer Psalms is written in British english as The Football Psalms and in Spanish as Los Salmos del Fútbol and hopefully next year will be released in French and Portuguese — you can find each of these on Amazon, pretty much anywhere in the world! If you have a team that you’d like to get the devotionals for or want to order in a large quantity to give away as gifts, please feel free to reach to me at brad@soccerchaplainsunited.org and we’d love to help you gift these to your team. Have a wonderful Christmas! From the Touchline is a short-feature podcast with Rev Brad Kenney, Founder and Executive Director of Soccer Chaplains United and Volunteer Chaplain to the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer. Rev Brad and occasional guests touch on various issues around the topics of faith, family, and football (soccer). Also, don’t forget that you can listen in our app, SoccrChapUtd, in the Apple and Google store.
In this episode, the Ski Moms welcome Chemmy Alcott, a British former World Cup alpine ski racer who competed in all five disciplines and represented Great Britain at four Olympic Games. Growing up in London, Chemmy's journey to elite ski racing is extraordinary, she trained on eight-second dry ski slopes made of plastic "hairbrushes" and at age 10 convinced her parents to let her travel alone to New Zealand for two months of training, a pattern she continued for eight years.Chemmy opens up about skiing at only 80% capacity for eight years due to fear of failure before her breakthrough at Sölden, where she embraced 100% effort and risk-taking. After coming within 1.8 seconds of an Olympic medal at Sochi 2014, her surgeon's warning about potential leg amputation led to her retirement. Now a mother of two boys (ages 8 and 6), she's achieved her childhood dream as presenter of BBC's iconic Ski Sunday and co-founded Carpe Diem Coaching with her husband Dougie, running camps across Europe for ages 6 to 89 focused on building confidence and resilience.
