The Trevor Rose Podcast #1: Ben Thomsen (On Perseverance & Enjoying What You Do)
Repeatedly told he should quit and that he had no place on the Canadian National Ski Team, Ben has not only earned his spot on the team, but consistently been one of the highest performing ski racers from Canada.
Two Olympic appearances, a World Cup podium and other top ten finishes support his resume as he continues his journey this season with the aim of finally winning a World Cup ski race (preferably the legendary Kitzbuhel downhill).
An inspiring story of perseverance, grit and determination, Ben tells the story from his early days skiing with his parents (both coaches) in Panorama, BC to carving his own path on the World Cup circuit.
We sat down for a smooth cup of rose bros coffee and talked about fitness, not giving up, goal setting, making your own rules and a lot more.
Hopefully you enjoyed the show!
