    Visualize Your Life Like An Olympian With Chris Lillis

    Saying Chris Lillis is a details guy is like saying he kind of wants to win another Olympic gold medal. Lillis won gold in mixed team aerials at the 2022 Beijing Winter Games. Making a second Olympic team in his discipline of freestyle skiing is arguably more mental than physical. Tracking the details of how he eats, sleeps, trains and recovers is crucial to unlocking what does and doesn't work for him as an athlete. The data helps shape his mindset training. The key to mental preparation is visualization. Chris says, "Visualization can just be like a kind of mental imagination, whether it's in the first person or the third person. You really just imagine yourself doing that jump." Aerialists are like acrobats on skis. They ski down a ramp, launch themselves in the air and complete a series of flips and twists while maintaining enough spatial awareness to land on on snow. Jumps last seconds. But Chris says the time in the air feels a lot longer than that because of how in tune he is with every small move his body makes. Just making the 2026 Olympic Team isn't enough. "It's different when you've won before because the only question anyone has for you is, are you going to win again? My answer is always the same. It's yes," says Chris. On this Dying to Ask: What it's like to live your life with that much attention to detail The move Chris had to make to follow his Olympic dream and how he spends his summers Going from newbie to veteran. The importance of mentoring the next generation of Olympians And how to master the art of visualization like an Olympic athlete

    Redefining Longevity With The Women Of Team USA And Women's Health

    From grit to glam. The women of Team USA are flipping the script on what longevity looks like the winter edition of Women's Health. Amanda Lucci is the director of special projects for Women's Health. Editors created a mirrored set to evoke icy, wintry vibes and Amanda says the athletes turned models understood the assignment. "They just turned it on the second they got on set and it was so much fun," says Amanda. The Olympics issue celebrates longevity. "We really wanted to explore what it takes to be an athlete for actual decades, while also living a lot of life outside of that," says Amanda. Snowboarder Jamie Anderson is an Olympic gold medalist. She took three years off since the 2022 Winter Games to have two kids. Her Olympic push for Milan Cortina involved a lot of multi-tasking. Amanda says, "She's still talking about how she's still getting into her flow of how she's training and also being a mom but at the same time, she's so much stronger." Cover model Chloe Kim left the last Olympics with more than a gold medal in the halfpipe. She describes extreme burnout and what she's done to work through it and fall in love with snowboarding again. Peak performance means new things. It's not just medals. It's mental health, motherhood, rest, and redefining success. On this Dying to to Ask: Proof it's never too late to pivot careers, even as an athlete How female athletes are fitting in or making backup plans for kids Redefining what's a win. Advice on giving yourself some grace to work on your grit Behind the scenes of the Olympic shoot. How Women's Health made Team USA's top female athletes feel like super models

    Growing Up In The Shadow Of The Olympics With Casey Dawson

    It's one thing to grow up with Olympic spirit. It's another to grew up in it like long track speedskater Casey Dawson did. Casey grew up in Salt Lake City. His hometown hosted its first Winter Games in 2002 and in some ways, the Olympics never left. "I grew up here, so I was surrounded by it. So ever since I was born, pretty much," says Casey. Casey was 2 years old during the 2002 Games. He and kids he grew up with benefitted from the Olympic venues. Most, like the Utah Olympic Oval, are still in existence today and serve as both elite training grounds and community recreation centers. Kids get into Olympic sports like speedskating through after school programs. Casey took an "intro to speed skating" class at the age of 10 and got hooked. Casey says, "I got coached by Olympians when I was 10 years old. I think that's what kept me in sports. I could go speedskating and go to ski in the mountains." Casey went from that intro program to the national team in just seven years. He made his Olympic debut in 2022 and won bronze in team pursuit at the 2022 Beijing Games. Milan-Cortina will be his second shot at Olympic gold. On this Dying to Ask: What Utah does to get kids into Olympic sports at a very early age Why the Utah Olympic Oval is known as the fastest ice on earth. And we'll start with a funny, yet kind of gross story about a badge of honor for U.S. long track speed skaters. Find out what it takes to make Coach Ryan Shimabukuro's Instagram page!

    Fear, Flips, and Full-Full-Fulls with Kaila Kuhn

    Living life in threes is paying off for freestyle skier Kaila Kuhn. "All of the men in the world are competing triples. Whereas a maximum [of] eight to 10 women on the Olympic year are actually competing [in] triples," Kuhn said. "Triples" refers to the complexity of an aerial skier's jump. It's an elite-level move, and Kuhn successfully performed a full-full-full to win a recent World Cup event. The full-full-full involves three flips with 360-degree twists. Kuhn admits that "it's dangerous. It's scary. And there's a reason why not many of us do it." Triples are a standard maneuver for male aerial skiers. But Kuhn predicts only eight to 10 women at the Olympics will attempt one. She sees triples as key to winning gold at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics. Kuhn was the youngest American to win an individual world title in aerials at the age of 21. She finished eighth in her Olympic debut at the 2022 Games. She transitioned from doubles to triples following her first Olympics. Perfecting triples puts her in line for gold in Milan at the age of 22. On this Dying to Ask: Harnessing fear. The role fear plays in preventing injuries and creating an edge How Kuhn mastered triples. How she perfected a complex move in water before trying it on snow The two stars of American aerial skiing are a real-life couple. How they've supported each other in this Olympic journey And read anything good lately? It's Olympic book club time.

    Fear, Flight & Fast-Tracking the Olympics With Quinn Dehlinger

    Time is currency. And freestyle Olympic skier Quinn Dehlinger cashed in on an opportunity he earned last June. That's when Quinn got a call from his coach that he'd made the 2026 U.S. Winter Olympic Team. Quinn narrowly missed out on qualifying for the 2022 Olympics. Qualifying eight months before the Olympics in Italy was a game changer. "Going into the competitions this year, if I got sick or had a minor injury it lifted a little of the weight off the shoulders," says Quinn. Aerial skiing is a freestyle discipline. Athletes are often compared to acrobats on skis. The team trains year-round at its home base in Park City at the Utah Olympic Park where skiers spend all summer perfecting tricks in a pool. But Quinn grew up in Cincinnati which has become a pipeline for aerial skiers. Four skiers on the Olympic team have ties to the Cincinnati area and they credit the smaller hill for high reps they did on rails and jumps. On this Dying to Ask: The greatest advantage of making the Olympic team so early. How did Cincinnati become a pipeline for Olympic aerial skiers? Why fear is a good thing when you you're an acrobat on skis And what it's like to pursue an Olympic dream when your girlfriend is also an Olympian

    Fast And Fancy Mia Manganello Enjoys Last Olympic Ride

    How do you know when it's time to walk away from an Olympic career? Mia Manganello says it's a feeling.  But that's where is gets tricky.  Most of the time, those feelings are because an athlete's results aren't what they used to be.  Mia is still very much on top in the world of long track speedskating. She just qualified for her third Olympic Team in team pursuit and mass start.   At 36, she just feels ready to do something else and she's determined to finish her skating career with as much grace as she has grit. "This is also going to be my last Olympics. That was hard to say," admits Mia.  Mia describes the Olympic journey as addictive.  "When you get a taste of the Olympics, it's so addicting and just pushing yourself to that limit and and working hard every single day and having someone around you, the team atmosphere, the whole thing is intoxicating," says Mia.  Intoxicating and in Mia's case, fancy.  Her skate bag has a Chanel logo and she gets a manicure every four weeks!  Mia says, "We spend all day, every day in spandex. So I like to feel like a girl. So I get my hair done and my nails done, and I like my my nice things!"  On this Dying to Ask: The Road to Milan-Cortina: What makes the grueling Olympic journey so addictive How an athlete weighs the end of a career, especially when they're still on top  The lessons Mia learned working in her family's Italian restaurant that define her as an athlete The link between feeling cute and feeling fierce

    Hypnotherapy, Gratitude And Going For Gold With Brittany Bowe

    The U.S. Olympic Long Track speedskating roster is set and it's a mixture of up and comers and veterans like Brittany Bowe. Bowe has won two Olympic bronze medals and she have very clear goals for the 2026 games in Milan-Cortina. "I'm still chasing that ultimate dream of becoming Olympic champion. I want nothing less than to step on the top of that podium," says Bowe. Long track pits skaters against the clock and each other on a 400 meter track. It's the same distance as a high school running track. Competitors race distances ranging from 500 meters to 5-thousand meters. It takes extraordinary physical and mental endurance. The 2026 Winter Games will be Brittany's fourth Olympics. She grew up in Florida and made the transition from inline skating to speedskating in 2010. At 37, she's a veteran athlete. That requires training smarter not harder. Brittany credits tools like hypnotherapy for her continued success. And, her outlook this Olympic run is different. She's operating from a true sense of gratitude. Brittany says, "I'm going to enjoy the process. I'm going to enjoy everything it takes to set myself up for success, to be an able to perform on the highest level, to have the opportunity, to chase that gold medal."

    Finding Grit And Doing The Macarena With Hanna Percy

    Imagine all your dreams coming true at the age of 18. It's a real possibility for snowboarder Hanna Percy. The athlete from Truckee, California, is the youngest member of the U.S. female snowboard cross team. Typically, elite snowboarders earn a place on the U.S. Development Team before moving to the Pro Team and then onto an Olympic Team. Hanna's results were so good that she skipped the development level and went straight to the pro team. Now, at 18, she has a shot at representing Team USA at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics. Hanna says, "We have six girls competing for three spots right now." Hanna's parents were pro snowboarders in the 1990s. Their daughter's talent and need for speed showed up early.  Her mother, Kim Percy, remembers "she was probably 10 when she passed me on the hill. It's like her board is a connection to her feet." Hanna left Northern California when she was 16 and enrolled at the prestigious Gould Academy, where her snowboarding results soared. The small co-ed academy in Western Maine is a favorite for winter sports athletes with Olympic ambitions. The move paid off. The environment allowed her to finish high school while launching her pro career. In person, Hanna is incredibly likable and friendly. But on the snow she's known for a grit and fierce need to win that's propelling her career at record speed. "I just like, kind of have to win," Hanna admits. But there a playful side too.  And, it's evident in every start gate where she Macarenas to loosen up and lessen the stress! On this Dying to Ask - The Road to Milan-Cortina: How to fuel your own competitive spirit How an 18 year old rose so quickly in snowboard cross and who taught this Gen Zer to Macarena?  How Hanna stays grounded when life and it's possibilities seem endless right now And my favorite attribute: grit.
