I’ve always been a fan of Kristina Groves and her attitude about sport and competition. It’s one that has served her well as a four-time Olympic speed skating medalist. I had the pleasure of interviewing her last week and this is a segment of that interview in which we talk about being so dedicated to a sport but at the same time realizing that in the big picture, the world will go on whether you win an Olympic medal or fail dramatically trying. It speaks a lot to the kind of person she is. Hope you enjoy it.


“It’s huge and it’s meaningless at the same time.” Kristina’s words about her drive to “get better” is both entirely inspiring and entirely liberating.
