How Whitney McClintock Rini's Winning Mindset Made Her an Elite Water Skier

Unspoken Bravery

Do you have a winner's mindset?

Today, I’m talking to Whitney McClintock Rini. She is a nine times World Champion in waterskiing, a mother, and a wife. She is also a realtor based in central Florida. Whitney has been competing since she was six and became a senior national team member at the age of thirteen.

Winning at the highest level, year after year requires one to have a winning mindset. While becoming an elite athlete is a daunting task that requires years of hard work, remaining elite requires even more work. It requires one to set clear goals, surround yourself with the right people, and be disciplined in pursuing excellence.

Tune in and listen to episode 5 of season 2 of Unspoken Bravery. Whitney and I discuss our shared childhood experiences and how we impacted each other. She also shares her experience balancing being an elite athlete and a parent, and the role that faith plays in her athletic career.
