Marta Stanska, diagnosed with Crohn's disease at 16, underwent multiple surgeries, including a permanent ileostomy, which ultimately gave her back her health and freedom.

What makes it shine are the behind-the-scenes moments throughout this five-part series. Without getting lost in technical detail or overselling the sport, it leans into what ski racing actually is: long travel days, fragile confidence, and moments where everything - a season, a career - comes down to a few seconds between gates.

"The NWSLPA is proud to join Project ACL, which brings together players, leagues and researchers to better understand ACL injuries.

"What a good day, and what a stupid accident...again. Five years after [my previous nose break], my nose is f---ed up even worse [laughs]. As you see, it's even more cracked the same direction, and when I touch [my nose], my bones are broken inside."

I have evolved from someone who didn't think much of the bar except for resting my legs to thinking of it as an obvious life-saving precaution.

The brain is the conductor of the orchestra, the muscles are the instruments. When your body is out of alignment, the orchestra is playing out of tune. Misalignment in the musculoskeletal system is frequently the root cause of chronic pain and the resulting poor posture.

You feel an unpleasant sensation - like a sinking feeling of anxiety in your stomach as the game begins, and you think, "I'm anxious. Here we go again. I'm about to blow it." You feel your pain increasing, and the thoughts churn: "Great. I'll probably miss a whole week of work." Imagined catastrophes fill your mind. Manage these thoughts with the 3 C's: Catch it, Check it, and Change it.

In this episode of the On Coaching Podcast, Steve Magness and Jon Marcus discuss the concept of 'fit but flat,' exploring the phenomenon where athletes excel in metabolic fitness but fail to perform competitively due to a lack of neuromuscular coordination. Using examples like middle-distance runner Ingram Brion, the hosts delve into how metabolic training alone can lead to race failures.

Cross training and running go together like peanut butter and jelly. If you build it into your schedule intentionally, strategically, and with a clear understanding of what you're trying to accomplish, you'll thrive.
