One of Britain’s most successful downhill skiers, Chemmy Alcott, shares her journey to four Winter Olympics and five top-10 World Cup finishes, including becoming the first Brit to win a World Cup downhill run in 2008 in Solden. In this episode of Performance People, she takes us inside the mental battles and brutal injuries that make up the life of a downhill racer, where euphoric success and crushing failure are only a ski edge apart.


Learn what it takes to push through adversity, build mental resilience, confront perfectionism and understand imposter syndrome - all against the unforgiving backdrop of competitive skiing.
