Eileen Shiffrin: Raising a Champion | WTP with Mikaela Ep. 10

Behind every great athlete is a village of talented people who make it all happen. But Mikaela has something most don't: Eileen.

In Episode 10 of What's the Point, Mikaela sits down with the person who has been there for every single moment of her career—and her life. Her mom. Her coach. Her mentor. Her best friend. Eileen Shiffrin. It's easy to look at Mikaela's résumé and see the medals, the records, the Crystal Globes. What you don't see is the woman behind the scenes who gave up her career as a nurse to be on the road six months a year, who homeschooled Mikaela through the early Burke Mountain years, who was there for Mikaela's first World Cup, and every heartbreak since.

In this episode, they get into all of it. The sacrifices and misunderstandings, including what it actually means to be on the road as a mother-daughter, coach-athlete duo (hint: it's not a European après-ski vacation). The grief of losing a father and a husband, Jeff, and how they've carried that together. The complicated line between pushing your kid and protecting them. And Eileen's own cancer diagnosis this past fall—a moment that, for the first time in this whole journey, asked her to put herself first. You know Mikaela. Now meet the woman who raised her to chase the impossible.
