In 2019, my skiing career ended with no intention of coming back. In April this year, I had knee-replacement surgery that has allowed me to return to skiing progression. Roger Federer once said to me “I squeezed every drop out of the lemon that I had. There was nothing left for me to give.” And I felt like I had done that in my career. I pushed myself as hard as I could. I feel like I have more juice in my lemon now. 🍋 https://lnkd.in/ey4cmbV8 📸 Rose Marie Cromwell

Good for you; my skiing career ended when a snowboarder hit me from behind, my tibia plateau was broken, and a concussion. I can’t take another blow like that, so the boarders win, and they take Grandpa off the slopes after 45 years at Kirkwood. Vail Resorts did nothing to try and catch the hit-and-run border and interviewed me after coming too from a concussion; how is that fair? There was no webcam on the slopes, and it was my mistake for not wearing my GoPro on my birthday. I was tracking with the Slopes App so I know where I was hit and when. Of course, if it happened to your Dad, justice would be served, such is life in America.

I'm impressed by the will you have. That was also the key to your success in 2019. It's a gift to have that bite, that's what characterises professional athletes. All successful managers have this skill too, the world is so full of opportunities.  Today you don't have to prove anything, you're just riding for yourself. I wish you achieve your goal, you are happy and that is the most important thing.

Always a great idea to leave your options open and pivot/adjust if that’s what your passion calls for!
