Craig "Bud" Branch is a three-time winter Olympic Alpine ski racer, specialising in the Downhill and Super-G (Super Giant Slalom) events. Craig represented Australia at the Salt Lake City (USA), Torino (Italy) and Vancouver (Canada) winter Olympic Games, he spent 10 years on the World Cup tour and qualified for six world championship events. Better known as “Bud” to his friends and family, he is also a passionate surfer, husband and father to his son Ziggy. I also consider him to be one of my best friends. Since retiring in 2010 after the Vancouver Olympic games, Bud has maintained an international career as a ski racing coach and  he is now Director of Alpine Sports and Head Coach at Thredbo Resort in NSW Australia…which is on the back of one of the worst ski seasons ever! Despite his desire to go fast on a set of skis, Bud is relaxed, calm and patient by nature. He is deeply connected to surfing and the Ocean.  Last time I recorded with Bud, we were sitting by the pool at The Pink Coco resort in Uluwatu, a place we have had many good times together, surfing, partying and in more recent times, chasing our kids around the pool. Bud was a previous guest on the show dating all the way back to episode 24 (49 episodes ago!). In this week's episode, Bud is with me to check in, share his experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.

Bud supports and advocates for:
