Alex Ferreira - 1st-time Olympic Skier

If there’s ever a time to peak in an athlete’s career, it’s right before the Olympics. And that’s exactly what professional freestyle skier, and Aspen native, Alex Ferreira, has been doing on the contest circuit the past year. This year, Alex easily qualified for his first US Olympic Team in Pyeongchang, South Korea. He’s only 23 years old and in his talk he quotes Theodore Roosevelt and Warren Buffet. He talks about a really important concept that most of us need reminding of: that sometimes when we’ve been grinding away on perfecting our craft, what can be the most beneficial to growth and acceleration is not more discipline, but actually taking a step away in order to explore, be spontaneous and reconnect to the source passion that fueled us in the first place. Watch Alex compete in ski halfpipe finals on February 22nd.
