"Win or lose, I'm still the same Brenna. I'm loved. I have an incredible family. [Snowboarding] is important, but it's not everything to me."
"So, sometimes I wear dirty socks to compete,"
"This past season, though, they've been really clean, so hopefully for the Games I have dirty socks, because that means things are going well."
"It is the best after a long day of snow, windburn-whatever you got going on-this will fix your entire life,"
Brenna Huckaby is a highly decorated para snowboarder with four Paralympic medals and 10 World Championships. She manages pressure by keeping perspective and prioritizing family and self-worth outside of sport. Huckaby uses lighthearted rituals and superstitions, like rewearing socks after good trainings or races, to maintain a relaxed competition mindset. She prioritizes skin care for snowy, windy conditions, using La Roche-Posay Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream and multiple sunscreens. Huckaby also travels with two eye masks and favors the Saatva Eye Mask with a 100 percent mulberry silk cover to ensure rest on the road.
