Bode Miller Quotes About Challenges

The only mental games in ski racing is the mental game against yourself. Is the whole goal of life preserving your life as long as you can?

Join the bold, the brazen, the unintimidated. Join not having excuses. Join the idea that fun is the source of all joy. Join the unwillingness to give up. Join doing things your way. Join not joining. Join that purpose is stronger than outcome. Join your gut. Join the constant challenge of seeking greatness. Join play. Join the hunger to find what makes you happy. Join karma and nature and the effect you have on your world. Join your philosophy. Join something bigger than you. Join what you believe.

It's like driving drunk only there's no rules about it in ski racing.
