Mikaela Shiffrin reflects on the importance of receiving coaching in her career
Mikaela Shiffrin has become one of the greatest alpine ski racers and has amassed numerous accolades throughout her eminent career. During an interview with Lewis Howes on 'The School of Greatness,' she shared her thoughts on the importance of coaching in her career.
"I've been really lucky with my coaches, starting off with my parents. My first coaches in my life. They both taught me how to ski, and like I said, my mom she's been my coach since I learned how to ski, but she traveled with me my first year in the World Cup; she still travels with me now. People have a bit of a misunderstanding, and they don't realise how much of an impact she has on my career. She's a very important coach," she said [19:31 onwards]
Shiffrin has 15 World Championship medals, out of which eight are gold medals.
