Angel Collinson - You Got This

Today, on this episode of Next Level Skiing, I had the opportunity to speak with Angel Collinson, a professional Freeskier. Angel explains how she was bred into skiing and originally started out with a different goal for her career. We talk about how visualization, meditation, and deep breathing have improved her performance and lifestyle; Angel explains why these methods of self-care are such an important part of the gig and explains how she benefits from the practices. We also discuss how her "feminine approach to fear" and her not-so-secret-mantra has made her one of the best in the world.

Tune in to hear important insights from Angel and how to take your skiing to the next level.
