This month’s guest is the amazing Chemmy Alcott. Chemmy is a 4 x Winter Olympian, presenter (Ski Sunday, Olympics) & speaker who is always seeking her next adventure or challenge ⛷️🗻

Chemmy takes us behind the scenes of a Winter Olympics, talks about how proud she is of her skiing injuries as a reminder of going all out 100%, how having the courage to try regardless of results fuelled her & is what she passes on in coaching and with schools, as well as the story behind her real name. Also why if lost in a supermarket, she may be found browsing the tea aisles admiring the packaging ☕️

The sheer determination & love during her career for the sport & in what she does shines through ✨
