Episode 3 - Olympic medalist Noelle Pikus-Pace

Episode Description

Why is it so hard to go from setting a goal to achieving a dream? How do challenges actually help you succeed? And how do you sabotage your own success? These are just a few of the questions we discuss with Olympic silver medalist and world champion Skeleton racer Noelle Pikus-Pace. She joins the Coaches’ Book Club to discuss how our March selection - Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage - influenced her life, and it became part of her new book - No Excuses. She talks about how her struggles and her success molded her, and how she shares what she’s learned about mindset and leadership with business leaders and athletes of all ages.

More about Coaches' Book Club

Sports are more than just games. Competition is a classroom for the human experience. While scoreboards declare winners and losers, the real value of athletics is the lessons that transcend any field of play. Lessons like perseverance, leadership, and resilience. And coaches are the people responsible for teaching these principles to athletes and fans alike. Have you ever wondered what shaped the philosophy or leadership style of your favorite coaches? A new podcast from KSL - Coach’s Book Club - asks coaches and athletes to share how their favorite books educated, changed or inspired them. Hosts David James and Amy Donaldson are veteran journalists who’ve covered everything from Olympic triumphs to high school heartbreaks. Each month, they'll introduce you to a coach and get their book club pick. Then, we'll read the book together and discuss the characters, themes and lessons. And we want to hear your take, too. This isn't just a podcast to listen to, it's a community. So join the coach's book club!
