Hold Fast: An Olympic Sailing Podcast Nathan Housberg

Born and raised in San Francisco, California, Daniela Moroz was the child of two windsurfing enthusiasts. She started kitesurfing at the age of 11 and then quickly progressed to hydrofoil boards and races in front of St. Francis Yacht Club on Thursday nights. It proved a promising training ground and she won her first world championship merely 4 years later at the age of 15. But, kite-foiling was a young sport and it took hard work for her to maintain her dominance over the fleet as it evolved. Kite-foiling was added to the list of sailing events at the Olympic games starting in 2024 and there Daniela hopes to reap the rewards of many years dominance in her discipline.

Nathan Housberg and sports psychologist Dr. Tim Herzog interview 2016 Rio Olympian Joe Morris.



Joe Morris got into sailing later than most, but that did not stop him. He dreamt about going to the Olympics and, in college, made lists of teammates who he thought he might attempt it with. But, his first job out of college brought him to Switzerland until he got a call by one of his college friends at just the right moment. He dropped everything and started training in the 49er sailboat with Thomas Barrows towards the Rio Olympic trials. They were behind from the beginning and a severe shoulder injury 6 months before the trials did not help their case.

Chris went to three Olympics with the Swiss sailing team. Two as a skipper and one as a coach. And at the height of his game he made a bold change. He used his dual citizenship to sail for the US Sailing team and he switched positions from a skipper to a crew. At the time the US sailing team was deep with talent, but Chris embraced the competitive challenge and out-qualified every other US team to make it to his third Olympics. This time as a medal favorite.
