How Consistency Created The Greatest British Skier of All Time with Dave Ryding

Unspoken Bravery

Who do you consider the greatest of all time?

Today, I’m talking to the greatest British skier ever, Dave Ryding. Specializing in slalom skiing, Dave has competed in four Olympic Games representing Great Britain, seven World Championships, and has won the Europa Cup. Throughout his incredible career, Dave has podiumed five times and most recently won the Kitzbuhel Slalom,  becoming the first ever British Gold medal winner at World Cup Alpine Skiing.

Consistency is key. No matter what your goal is, showing up consistently and putting in the work is going to be the fuel for your successes. The days when you don’t want to show up are the most important ones, helping you build mental and physical toughness that will help you achieve your wildest dreams. 

Tune in and listen to episode 3 of season 2 of Unspoken Bravery. Dave and I talk about his childhood competing on dry ski slopes, what keeps him motivated, the unique relationship he has with his coach, his reflection on winning gold at Kitzbuhel, how social media impacts athletes, and so much more.
