Description
We are expanding our horizons this week at the Next Turn by talking with Jessie Diggins, the American cross country standout, just days after clinching her second overall globe. Diggins talks candidly about how much she put on the line this season, how she defines success and the costs of it, in terms of both personal and team sacrifice. Always forthcoming and straightforward, Diggins opens up about her eating disorder and the impact that it’s had on her life on and off snow. She talks about her race energy management and what she hopes for the legacy she leaves behind. As the conversation flows, the parallels between the nordic and alpine worlds become more and more evident. And as always, we share our “SWIX Thoughts of the Day.”
