The Soelden races are over, and we must wait until the third weekend of November, when the races in Levi, are held, to enjoy the Alpine Ski World Cup once again.
Here are five podcasts that we love, that enrich our understanding of skiing, lift our spirits, and inspire us to indulge our passion.
Former World Cup and Olympic Racer Ed Drake discusses the ins and outs of World Cup Ski Racing with Marcel Mathis, Ben Clark, and expert guests to discuss current issues and breaking stories throughout the season.
In the fourth episode of the season Ed and Ben are joined by special guest Marc Telling to analyze the action from the opening event of the 2024-2025 Alpine Ski World Cup in Soelden.
Martin Wilson's podcast, The Next Turn, examines skiing, ski racing, and sport. Guests include athletes, coaches, and forward-thinking figures throughout the world of snow sports. The goal is to take a deep dive and conduct open, honest conversations in the pursuit of "better"-- better coaches, better athletes, better parents, better supporters, better advocates, and better fans.
On October 31, on the second episode of the fifth season, they interviewed Zan Kranjec, for a conversation covering a wide range of topics, including his strong performance in Sölden and what he’s focusing on as he prepares to race in Beaver Creek. As the only Slovenian GS skier on the World Cup circuit, Kranjec talks about his pre-season training partners and also speaks to the importance of clean skiing, opening up about the mental side of racing, specifically on building confidence, trusting his equipment, and setting ambitious goals.
Skiing is Believing Podcast
Alan Rigg and Matt Garcka dissect and analyze every FIS World Cup race of the season and bring you interviews with some of the best in the business.
As the 2024-2025 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup gets underway, they will continue to delight us with interviews and race reviews from the end of October onwards.
And last but not least, one of our favorites. American Downhillers video podcast, presented by Ski Racing Media, with Olympians Doug Lewis, AJ Kitt, Daron Rahlves, and Marco Sullivan sharing their thoughts on each World Cup Downhill stop. They share stories, dissect each course and how to win on it, and give their preview of who will ski their way to victory in each race.
Sadly last season, after a few episodes, they canceled the podcast. But is still worth watching past episodes with a lot of insides and useful information about the best Downhill races in the Alpine Ski World Cup.
Mind Set Win is a podcast series from Red Bull that unlocks the mental tactics used by sports professionals and shows how we can apply them in our daily lives.
In each episode, you’ll hear from an extraordinary athlete, coach, or manager, talk through a key moment in their career, and break down the psychological approach that can make all the difference. You’ll learn mental tactics such as resilience, a growth mindset, and decision-making from champions.
Red Bull hosts, Cédric Dumont, a BASE jumper and high-performance psychologist, and cross-country MTB athlete Kate Courtney, who will guide us through the series and uncover practical tools for anyone who shares the desire to become better, more successful, and more satisfied.
In the 4th episode of the second season of the 'Mind Set Win' podcast, Marco Odermatt imparts invaluable insights into the mental strategies that have made him a dominant force in the sport.
Odermatt consistently implements a visualization technique that’s become his anchor during races. It runs through his pre-performance routine like a red thread, and he uses it to ground himself and zone in on the upcoming task.
