Everything about my life seemed so perfect to people. But I struggle like everyone else.

I did gymnastics when I was a kid. I wasn't very good at it.

I love skiing fast. You're going 80 to 85 m.p.h. down an icy slope, and I love it.

I love the cowbell. I think it's awesome. My family got the cowbell app on their iPhones. It's a classic part of ski racing.

I snack on fruit and nuts. In the middle of my long workouts, I'll have a protein shake.

When you fall, get right back up.

I feel like, with ski racing, you need to have a short memory. You crash all the time, and sometimes it's a really bad one, but sometimes it's not so bad.

There is a dessert dish in Austria called Kaiserschmarrn - it's kind of like a sweet raisin pancake with eggs and sugar. It's definitely not something I can eat often, but if I've done well at a race, sometimes that's my celebration treat!
