- Sports
Today we sit with the Club's new Snowboard Director, Olympic bronze medalist, Alex Deibold. Not only is he running our entire snowboard program with huge events coming up soon, he's also chasing around his almost 2 year old daughter on the side, all the while doing the hardest work of all - the work on himself. Today we talk about all of it - his path to glory, his transition to the other side, and what happens when an athlete moves out of the center of their own universe.
