If you ski or snowboard then chances are you’ve wrestled with fear and courage. We sat down with someone who knows all about both on the latest episode of the SnowsBest podcast.

Mikey Williams is a long time snowboard coach and former athlete. He counts FIS World Cup Crystal Globe snowboarder Valentino Guseli and FIS World Champion snowboarder Mia Brookes in his stable of athletes.

As an elite coach at FIS World Cup and Olympic level, Mikey spends his days managing athlete mindsets and coaching them to courageous moments in slopestyle, halfpipe and big air.

“Danger is real and fear is a choice” – just one of many moments of wisdom from Mikey in this thirty minute chat on the SnowsBest podcast. We delve deep into courage, fear, bravery and how mindfulness changes everything; we discuss what it’s like on tour with Valentino Guseli and how the average skier and snowboarder can find courage both on and off the slopes.

This is one of our favourite episodes thus far.
