There's something special about an athlete entrusting us to help them make their dreams come true. For them, I'll go the distance.

For S&C, consider the difference in answers these questions would produce:

"What do you want to get better at this prep period?" vs "What is holding you back from consistently winning world cups?"

One question is a bit more narrow / short-sighted. The other sees the grand plan.

[Bing @mike_bing]

Love this. Additionally, if we don't know how to ask the right questions (in the right way, at the right time), we'll never get the information we need. Great questions lead to great answers. Poor Q's = poor answers.

"A More Beautiful Question" by Berger is a fantastic resource.

No one is lacking access to information nowadays. It’s no longer pre-2000. The feeds of info get shoved into our face and into our inbox all day. However, we are in desperate need of more discretion, undistracted time and more time deep thinking about what we already know.

[Bing @mike_bing]

I’m all in. Working to learn, listen, and amplify voices where I can. A lot of eye-opening happening lately. We have a lot of work to do.

Organizing your time and prioritizing your agenda gives you the ability to say, “What I’m working on right now is the most important thing I could be doing.”

The power in that is insane.

How do you know that what you’re doing right now is the best use of your time?

Knowledge is not an outcome. It’s a process. The end goal is not to find answers, but to gain understanding. No biases. No agendas. Just knowledge. Carry on my inquisitive comrades!

The experiment worked. In the last 31 evenings, I’ve FaceTimed 64 different people, 19 of whom I’d never met. We talked life, successes, failures, ski racing, biking, S&C, relationships, coaching, career goals, and… https://t.co/0R07VYVI5i

Had an awesome time talking adventure, pushing limits, living life, reshaping your normal, and all kinds of madness with my friend Aaron. Give it a listen if you’d like!

For a close friend - “What’s something you hope I don’t ask about but you know we should talk about?” That’ll open the door to a real conversation real quick.

For anyone - “What’s one of the biggest challenges you’ve overcome?” It’s these struggles that shape us. I love these.

Questions are a beautiful thing. They’re the keys that unlock doors into rooms full of incredible ideas, stories, passions, experiences.

Great questions get great answers. Garbage questions get dead ends.

What are some of your favorite questions, and for whom?

Part of our week-long, 8a-5p spring meetings: all 15 of our men’s alpine coaches getting on the same page with technical/tactical language and goals, with me, the athletic development coach, invited.

“What do we see in these positions?” “How can we better prepare them for this?”

Given that I’m a social person and currently stuck at home alone, I’m setting up a 7:30p MT FaceTime/Skype with a different person every single night until I can hang with people again. First come first serve on dates, just leave a comment on Instagram. https://t.co/9XQhjQu62J

We owe a profound debt of gratitude to all our health professionals and everybody who’ll be on the front lines of this pandemic for a long while. They’re giving everything. May we all model our own behavior on their selflessness and sacrifice as we help each other through this.

@SkratchLabs @elostermann20 Fair question. Though the value of skratch outweighs the value of TP financially, I had an abundance of skratch (because it’s so wonderful) but was finishing my last roll of TP. The laws of economics took over. And I got to share Skratch with a friend! Win win.

@BingamanHall I know. Thank you for what you do. I know you’ll take every preventative measure you possibly can.

Watch this. It shows why we should all do the right thing and stay home to the fullest extent possible. All of us can help slow the spread of the virus, protecting the elderly, the vulnerable, and each other. https://t.co/FgffQrMVB7

I’m concerned that this whole situation is a joke to some people. It’s “funny” until it’s not. Please be smart. For the young and healthy, know that others will pay the price for our actions.

Over 40% of your life is run by habits. Smart ones are life changing. Here are my 5 favorites:

@Hertz hello - I need to extend a rental in Munich but I'm in Italy. I've called Munich airport's Hertz over 30 times and have never gotten an answer. I've talked to a number of different Hertz employees elsewhere and all they can tell me is to call the Munich location. Help!

One of the top development programs in the country is the @usskiteam’s annual internship program. The stellar roster of current top professionals to come through it speaks volumes.
