In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, I sit down with Martin Wilson, the new head coach of the Ontario Ski Team and the host of "The Next Turn" podcast. Martin, shares his journey from growing up in Thunder Bay, Ontario, to becoming a prominent figure in the ski racing community.


We dive into Martin’s deep connection to skiing, which started as a family activity and has influenced every aspect of his life. He discusses the unique community and solitude that skiing offers, the challenges and rewards of coaching, and the critical role of mental toughness in the sport. Martin also opens up about the inevitability of injuries in ski racing and how he tailors his coaching to each athlete’s individual needs, emphasizing quality over quantity in training.


This episode is filled with valuable insights for skiers, coaches, and anyone interested in the mental and physical aspects of high-performance sports. Don't miss Martin’s advice on returning to skiing post-injury and his thoughts on the noble pursuit of getting better, both on and off the slopes.
