Is this your first World Championships experience? If not, how many times have you competed in WSC?

What is the result you are most proud of and why?
When I was fourteen I beat Billy Demong at Nationals, that is when I realized I was good and he was bad.
What is one thing which you have been focused on improving which will help you meet these goals?
I have really tried to focus in on what works for me, what do I need to do on a daily basis to make me better on the hill. What workouts work best to what I need to eat the night before a competition.
Who is your role model in the sport?
Taylor Fletcher, I’ve never seen a bigger headcase and I respect that.
To you, what does it mean to be on the World Championship team?
Whenever you get named to any kind of team there’s an immediate expectation I put on myself. Making the World Championship Team is not the goal for me. I need to go perform to the best of my ability for me to achieve any goal I set up for myself.
What do you hope to learn or accomplish at these upcoming World Championships?
Every competition like World Champs is a learning experience, I’ll use it as such but I also think a top 30 result is achievable.

I started doing blood restriction training with B-Strong out of Park City, Utah. I also started doing some high-intensity interval training on a treadmill once a week.
