Why is bobsledding so complex?
Today, I’m talking to one of the best bobsleigh drivers and a four-time Olympian, Christopher Spring. He stood on the top step of the World Cup podium two times, finished up the 2018 season ranked third overall in the standings, and placed fifth in the two-man race at the Sochi Olympics. Chris has also had multiple other podiums throughout his career.
Remaining competitive in a team sport for years requires one to gain and retain the trust of their teammates. This is only possible if you are working hard and consistently delivering good results at the highest possible level.
Tune in and listen to episode 5 of season 8 of Unspoken Bravery. Chris and I discuss what bobsledding entails and what it takes to become a good bobsleigh driver. He also shares about his 2012 crash, the mental burden that came with it, and what encouraged him to keep competing.
In this episode, you will learn:
Chris explains what the three bobsleigh disciplines entail (04:30)What makes Chris a good bobsleigh pilot (11:07)Why most athletes feel stressed before races (20:01)Chris shares about his 2012 crash (23:59)The benefits of doing other things outside of sports (38:09)Why a simplistic mind is important to Chris (41:10)
