In this episode I decode professional snowboarder Scotty James who I met during the Laax Open, the biggest snowboard event in Europe. I didn’t know Scotty personally before, but I definitely heard of him. At the age of 25 he has already participated at three Olympic Games. He is five times X Games medalist and won nearly every contest he entered in 2020. He tells us how he felt when he was just 15 years old at his first Olympics, his biggest fear and - most importantly - he teaches us how to deal with stress and pressure.
