I totally get why these skiers have different approaches to managing fear, it's all about finding what works for them

. As a parent, it's crazy to think about how mental toughness comes into play in their sport - I mean, we worry enough about our kids trying new things in the safety of our own backyard!

But in extreme sports like this, it's almost impossible not to feel fear... except when you're up on that halfpipe and it's go time

. Kirsty Muir's superstition is actually kinda cool

, who knows what kind of good vibes she's getting from her lucky snood? And I love how Zoe Atkin reframes her nervous energy as a positive - I wish my kid could see the value in that right now when they're stressing out about school or something

. It just goes to show you can't overthink it too much, sometimes you gotta trust your training and trust yourself
