I did not give up when I could have. People were telling me that maybe it wasn't a good idea to do this. I was not going to let up. Like, I wanted to believe in myself and show myself that I could deal with this. I don't know if you can ever truly eliminate self-doubt. I think you can maybe quiet the noise a bit, but the minute something doesn't go your way, that self-doubt is going to come right back.

At just 17 years old, she became the youngest woman to win Olympic gold in snowboarding, establishing herself as one of the most dominant athletes in her sport. We have the inspiring Chloe Kim in the house.

My dad later on told me that if I didn't make it by the time I was 13, we wouldn't be able to afford it anymore. The most pressure I felt from them was actually as we got closer to my first Olympics. I had to have a sit down with my parents. It's like, guys, this doesn't feel good.

Really?

This feels really intense. I am so grateful that I got to to go through some really intense moments at such a young age, because now I feel like I can get through whatever and accomplish whatever I put my mind to.

And what was the greatest lesson you learned from that experience?

I think grit, like true grit.

Before I had you on here today, we had another snowboarder on. I don't know if you know Amy Purdy.

Love Amy.

And she was just singing your praises, saying how much she loves you.

I love her to death.

And I was like, Amy, if you could ask her one question, you know, about Chloe, what would it be?

And she goes, how does she perform under pressure and just look so free?

And that was one of the things she was asking about, like, how does she look so free at the highest stages in the world? And I'm curious, how do you perform under pressure and make it look so effortless?

I just made a face when you said that because I feel like I feel the same way about her.

Really?

Yeah. So I feel like the call is coming from within.

Amy.

No, Amy's amazing. She's such an inspiration. She has such an incredible story and everything she's done for her sport. It's been like so cool.

Yeah.

And she's so cool.

Yeah.

So gorgeous and smart.

So kind.

Like, yes, it's kind of not fair.

Yeah.

She's everything to me. Um, I would say for me personally, I don't know, I don't think I think about it too much.

I think pressure.

Yeah, I mean, obviously I do feel pressure, but I think I need a moment to just sit with myself and recognize that the pressure is actually, I feel like, outside voices, people with expectations and people who want things for me, which is such a blessing in disguise sometimes. But I see it as a blessing. I really appreciate that people believe that I could accomplish all these things. So I think I had to make that mental shift at a pretty young age.

Really?

And kind of recognize that, you know, there's a lot of voices out there, but at the end of the day, it's because, you know, they believe I can do it. So, I feel like I have cheerleaders instead of, you know, all these like scary expectations. And I think I kind of, when I started to make that shift, things felt a lot easier and smoother for me.

Do you feel like when you compete, you're not thinking about the pressure then, or is it more about just wanting to have fun?

It's a little bit of both. I love competing. I'm a very competitive person. Even outside of my sport, you know, video games, any— like, PE was my favorite day at school growing up, and I just loved competing. I loved playing games, like, all of it. So it's very rewarding for me when I get to compete in something that I'm really good at. And yeah, but I also do want to have fun. I try to have fun. You know, transparently, I never, like, wanted to snowboard.

Really?

The sport of my choice.

What was the choice you wanted?

Oh my gosh. Well, I wanted it a lot. I wanted to be a jockey.

A jockey?

I love horses.

Okay.

And I loved just anything horse related. And in my mind it was like horse racing.

Really?

This is when I was like 3.

Because you grew up in SoCal, right? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. So I don't know. I was just always obsessed with horses. My favorite movie growing up was Spirit.

Okay.

I don't know if, you know, your kid, maybe your girls are like, be obsessed with it one day, but Yeah, I really wanted to be a jockey. I really loved figure skating, but my dad was the one that, you know, kind of wanted me to get into a sport. And so when I told him figure skating, he was like, well, what about speed skating or hockey? And I was like, no, like, I'm not gonna do that. So we started snowboarding, right? Snowboarding was what he, you know.

But you were growing up in—

was it Torrance you grew up in, or like you grew up SoCal area?

I grew up all over.

All over.

We moved a bunch. Um, so I've lived in Cypress, La Palma, Torrance, La Habra.

Okay.

And then I moved to L.A. I lived in Newport for a year and then I moved to L.A.

But you started— was it more in Mammoth where you started really snowboarding then? So you'd go up there and—

Yeah, well, I actually learned in Mountain High and I always want to give credit to Mountain High. I love it there.

Okay.

Good mems, good mems, bad mems, crazy mems.

All of it. That's where it started.

That's where it started. And then as I started getting better and getting, you know, more serious, we started going to Mammoth.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's cool.

I mean, your dad— you mentioned your dad and he, he, he really started to invest in you early on then, right? With snowboarding. Didn't he leave his career to kind of like go all in with you?

Yeah.

So when you, when you have a parent who's that much of a cheerleader and supporting you, how did you not also feel the pressure then of like, oh, this needs to work out? Like, I need to actually be good and succeed because he's invested his life in this as well.

Yeah, I think that is definitely something that I thought about a lot.

Really?

And my dad later on told me that if I didn't make it by the time I was 13, like, we wouldn't be able to afford it anymore because my parents invested everything into my sport, which is such a risky decision, honestly, to make. But I didn't know that. And funny enough, at 13, I started doing really well and started to like you know, kill it in my sport. But I think the most pressure I felt from them was actually as we got closer to my first Olympics, because I think that was the dream. I finally did it. I qualified for Sochi when I was 13.

Wow.

I don't know if you know this.

Okay.

Um, was too young to compete.

So you qualified but you couldn't compete?

Yeah. That's— I qualified in second.

Oh my gosh.

So I wasn't able to go. So I feel like there was so much anticipation that built from that moment. And once I was getting closer. Like, that 2016-17 season was the scariest season of my life. Just the air every time I walked into the, like, spaces was just so tense and stressful. I feel like everyone's getting really intense, hoping to qualify for the Games. Now I'm in contention to qualify for the Games. Like, my— I had to have a sit down with my parents. It's like, guys, this doesn't feel good.

Really?

This feels really intense. Like, I understand that you guys, you know, obviously want this for me, and I do too, But I need a sense of normalcy 'cause everywhere else I go does not feel normal either. So I just need home to feel like home.

Wow.

Yeah.

It's a lot of pressure. I mean, you were 16 going on 17, I guess around that time.

Yeah.

So it's, it's almost like, oh, what if I make a mistake or don't qualify or I fall? Then all this, this like expectation like crumbles, I guess.

Yeah. And I wanna say too, into my first games, qualifying was hardcore. Like there, I mean, there still are, you know, really good US snowboarding girls, but like back then it was mostly, you know, US podium suites for the most part. Like they were awesome. And so qualifying was really intense 'cause it's almost like you had to bring your A-game. Like if you qualified for the Olympics in the US, it was almost just felt like you were guaranteed a medal at that point 'cause they were so good. Yes.

And so, so it wasn't guaranteed.

It wasn't like, oh, this is gonna be easy.

No. I knew I had a good shot 'cause I was podiuming consistently, but I've never experienced that type of pressure and like that type of expectation before. And so I remember like going into all my runs for the qualifying events. So a little more about the qualification process. All right.

Tell me, tell me. Okay.

So basically it's the season before the Olympics. There are, I might be completely wrong, but there's somewhere, but I think it's 5 events, 4 or 5 events. And basically it's the top 4 girls based on all those events. So the way, the best way to guarantee a spot is to like win a couple of them.

Um, at least 4 go top 4, top 4 of USA.

Yeah. Yes. Top 4 go. And based on your results in those events, they'll, I think they take like the top 3 results or something. And then they average them out and then that's how they decide who goes. So that was, so you kind of have to be awesome for at least 3 events.

Right. Over like a 6-month window or is that like a year or how long is that?

No, it's like a 2-month window.

Oh, oh man. So if you mess up in 2 months, you're done.

Yeah. So it's like you start the season and you're like, okay, like I might go to the Olympics and it's like, boom, it's over. And then people are going to the Olympics. It's so fast. It's back to back. I think the first qualification events in December, like early December, and then the rest of them are low-key in January. And then we go to—

And you leave like a couple weeks later.

In February. Yeah. So it's really intense.

How did you feel going into this recent Olympics then? Because you were injured.

Yeah.

Like how was your—

I didn't feel good.

You didn't feel good because you'd previously won 2 gold medals.

Mm-hmm.

But then you're going into this next Olympics a little injured, not feeling good, like you said. Mm-hmm. How do you stay confident and also not let the fear of the pressure or what if I fail or what if my injury holds me back or the expectations of the world now?

Yeah.

How do you navigate that?

I mean, it was tough, you know, I think that was definitely a really hard moment. Probably one of the more difficult things I've had to navigate in my career. I've had, I've been so blessed and fortunate to go into every single Games completely healthy. And luckily I had actually qualified for the Games the season prior.

So you didn't have that stress.

I didn't need to qualify that season. That's good. Which was great.

That's great. Yeah.

Awesome.

But you gotta be healthy.

Exactly. And so, you know, the plan was, okay, I'm not gonna compete that much this season. I'm going to just train for the Games and then go. And that's what I did going into Beijing as well.

Mm-hmm.

But unfortunately the first training camp I had planned in the winter. That's when it happened, like the second or third day. So I had no reps going into this.

Wow.

Came straight back home, rehabbed as much as I could, cuz it wasn't necessarily a pain issue. It was more that my shoulder kept coming out. And if your shoulder comes out, there's like not much you can do. Yes, you can pop it back in, but it will just keep coming out.

This is your left shoulder or your right shoulder? Yeah.

Yeah. My left shoulder. And so it was one of those things where I think I spent a week, maybe 10 days here in LA doing my rehab and then trying to get back on snow as soon as possible to get a little reps in.

Um, it's also probably the fear of if I fall and hurt the shoulder, like the damage that that could have too, right?

Exactly.

And I don't wanna get hurt before I go into the Games.

Totally. But I had already come up with a plan in my mind that was maybe insane, but I was like, what was that? Well, if it comes out, just put it back in. Okay. You know, let's just pop it back in, it's fine.

It wasn't painful?

Like, yeah, it hurts, but I've like also—

Put it back in. You're an athlete.

I live in a world of pain. Like, I am always in pain. So this, let's just add this to the list of things that hurt. But no, I think I was like, all right, well, we'll just pop it back in. I'll do everything I can. We'll get a brace. But the most annoying thing was just that I had to relearn how to do all my tricks without this arm.

Because you really need to like use the force of it, right?

Yeah.

And so how did you do that?

Like hyperextend it almost, and that's when it's the most vulnerable. Like when I'm throwing my tricks, I need all my arms because you're really swinging in the air. I'm literally doing the most, like flailing, like twisting, all of it.

Because people watching might think, oh, it's actually a lot of twisting of like the hips, which I guess it is, but you need the windup with the upper body as well, right? Interesting.

Yeah. So it was really hard. So the very limited days I had on snow, I just had to like try to relearn how to do all my tricks.

With one arm?

With one arm. And it's so disappointing because it's almost annoying. I almost wish that it was— this is kind of dark, but I had almost wished that it was a more serious injury, if that makes sense. 'Cause then it was just clear that like I couldn't do it or like I, you know, but this whole gray area was really rough for me to navigate. Because I'm like, I feel fine. I, I feel like I can do this, but my shoulder comes out in the middle of my run. There's nothing I can do. I have to stop. So that's where it's really frustrating. And that's also where it was frustrating because I felt like people wouldn't understand what that was like either.

Yeah. And I mean, I don't know if— did you ever have the fear of like, okay, I'm going whatever, 50 feet in the air, and if I fall on it, yeah, then also the pain of that. You know, I might be done, I guess, if it's already vulnerable.

Yeah.

For me, I'd be afraid of that.

Yeah. I mean, I was never one to worry about pain again. Like, I, I've had chronic back pain since I was 15, so it's not a big deal. It was just more inconvenient for me, I think, is the best way to put it.

So how do you navigate that? And I guess, how do you visualize before going out for a run at the Olympics when you're uncertain if you can actually complete the run?

I think it's hard, like mentally. There's always this little voice in your head that's like, all right, well, this could happen. Really? You know, prepare yourself for that. I did the best that I could, you know. I knew that I was at a severe disadvantage because everyone else has trained, ridden all winter long, and I'm coming in— I think the night of the final was my 8th day on snow.

Wow.

Total.

So like in like 6 months or something, right?

So it's like I'm I could be, but I'm also dealing with this, which is part of the sport. I'm just gonna do my best and whatever. That's what I had to get to, just like, whatever.

So what is the, what is the mental rehearsal that you have then? Either, you know, the morning of, an hour before, or right before to eliminate the self-doubt?

I think that's interesting and I'm curious to see what our listeners will think, but I don't know if you can ever truly eliminate self-doubt. Mm-hmm. I think you can talk yourself up to maybe quiet the noise a bit, but the minute something doesn't go your way, that self-doubt's going to come right back.

Yeah.

And so it is hard to truly get rid of it. And I think that's just normal too. It's like natural human brains and minds. We're kind of like always fearful of the unknown. And that's where I was at too. So I'm not going to sit here and be like, well, I didn't doubt myself at all. I felt so confident. That's not the case. But I think I kind of have to sit there and remind myself that I have to rely on body, uh, muscle memory. Yes, muscle memory is going to be my best friend here, and I'm just gonna hope for the best. You know, maybe things won't go my way. That's okay. I feel really fortunate to be in a position in my career where I've accomplished everything under the sun and more, and so I didn't feel like really strongly about you know, winning, if that makes sense.

Really? So you weren't really concerned, like, if I get the gold or if I don't get any medals, you were going to be okay?

My goal was to get a medal.

Right. And you did it.

I did it.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Thank you.

You did it.

I did it. You know, and that was really challenging in itself because there's so much new talent. I've been doing this for over 10 years professionally. You know, I'm 26 now.

And you've won everything.

I've won everything multiple times.

X Games, World Championships, Olympic gold multiple times.

Multiple times. And I think I'm really grateful to have had that experience. I've done it all. There literally isn't a single thing I want, which you feel complete, which feels funny, you know? And I kind of got to that place in my early 20s.

That's incredible.

So I feel like this last time, I, this past one, I just wanted to have fun. Just wanted to like enjoy it, you know? Obviously this didn't make it as enjoyable as it could have been, but I think I enjoyed every minute of it. And there's not a thing I would change.

Really?

Yeah. That's beautiful. Yeah.

So you don't feel like, you know, you wanted— your goal was to get a medal. Didn't matter if it was any medal.

Yeah.

And but you've won multiple golds.

Yeah.

So was there anything inside of you that was like, okay, you know, I got a silver, but it wasn't the gold? Was there any part of you that felt like maybe, I don't know, that was let down in any way?

Yeah. I mean, I think that there's always going to be a sentiment of, like, disappointment. Of course. Like, this is, again, something that I've trained for, for 3 years going into it. So I'm also not gonna sit here and be like, oh well, I'm fine with that. But I think it's important to be kind to yourself in these moments. Yes. And give yourself that reminder that like, I also wasn't coming into this Games like I had the two other times.

Mm-hmm.

You know, I can't, yeah.

Healthy and fully ready and, right.

And like going into the other Games, I had like 2, 3 months of training under my belt going into the Games. And here I go into my third one with 8 days, period.

Crazy.

Like that. It's not fair for me to— yes, I can dream, and yes, I can hope, but if we're going to be realistic, it's going to be very difficult, and I am going to need some sort of miracle here.

And you gave your best. And so your mind, you're like—

yes. And also, I want to say the first 2 days I had training, because now we have to count the days. The first 2 days I had, I had to learn to not get scared of snowboarding again.

Yeah.

Yeah. Not like falling.

Which is a lot. And then day 3, it's like I'm throwing myself as hard as I can to do all my tricks that I hadn't done in so long.

So, and thinking of your routines and what you're gonna do. Yeah.

Right. Like I haven't done my run, like I haven't learned my tricks back with, now I have to do it with one arm. Like it's hectic. There's like, yes, winning is awesome, but being able to show up on such short notice and just like do what I could is something that I've never done before. And I think at the end of the day, though, it wasn't the outcome that, you know, maybe I would've hoped for and everyone else would've hoped for, I still walked away with a very valuable lesson that I don't think I could've learned.

And what was that?

Any other way?

And what was the greatest lesson you learned from that experience?

I think grit, like true grit. I did not give up when I could have. Mm-hmm. You know, people were telling me that maybe it wasn't a good idea to do this. I was not gonna let up. Like I wanted to believe in myself and show myself that I could deal with this and I could just that, like I could make something out of this. Mm-hmm. And like I, going to the Olympics is such an honor and a privilege in itself. And I, you know, still had the best result out of the US women's. I really think I accomplished so much more in a way, cuz yeah, I don't know. Like, I know if I were healthy and it was, you know, I had all the reps, you would've crushed it. You would've, yeah, I would've done exactly what I wanted to do. I had to do such a chill version of what I was planning to do and prepping to do. So yeah, that's where I'm at.

The grit. Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, I think it's like being at peace knowing that like, okay, I could have won if I was healthier, if I had a full season to train. I knew I could have done. You've already done it before. But it's what I'm hearing you say is like learning how to stick through it with the uncertainty, with the pain, with having to learn my routine on 8 days.

Yeah.

And having fun and being positive and knowing that I may win or lose.

Yeah.

That's the real lesson. That's what I'm hearing you say.

That's the real lesson. Yes. Thank you. Beautiful.

That's beautiful.

Beautiful way to articulate.

Now, Tax and bonus season is one of those sneaky little moments. You check your account, you see a refund or a bonus, and for about 10 seconds you feel rich, like, ooh, maybe I'll go buy some expensive gift for myself. Then reality kicks in. But here is the thing. That moment right there is actually kind of powerful for us. For most of us, extra money hits the account and suddenly it already has plans because something needs to be fixed. Something needs paid for, or something you've wanted for forever is calling your name. There's no shame in this. Life is full. Things break, plans pop up. But what if just for a minute you paused, like just for a second, not because you have to, but because you want to ask a better question. Not what can I buy right now, but what would actually feel good about this later? And instead of the moment running you, You make an intentional move, not a big dramatic one, just a simple decision that leaves you feeling a little more steady and a little more in control, specifically with your money. And if you get a tax refund or a bonus, try asking a different question. Not what can I buy today, but how can I give my bonus a bonus? Or how can I turn my tax refund into more funds? It's a small shift, but it changes the energy and suddenly it isn't just extra cash. It's an opportunity. One simple, intentional decision can help you feel a little bit more in control, a little more steady. And honestly, that feels better than an impulse purchase you forget about in 2 weeks. And that's why I like how U.S. Bank approaches tax and bonus season. They know these moments matter.

I'm a, I'm a big fan of just psychology and sports psychology, really how to prepare yourself mentally for competition so that you can enjoy the most of it as well.

Yeah.

Is there any sports psychology you've learned over the years or picked up, whether it be like inner game tricks on breathwork, meditation, mindset, visualization, or anything else that has supported you in believing in yourself and being ready and prepared for competition?

Hmm.

Or have you just been a badass since the womb? You know, you just came out and you're just like, I can do this, no problem.

Oh my gosh, I don't know. I actually recently got diagnosed with ADHD.

Okay.

Like last week.

Okay.

Last week?

Yeah. And everything made sense.

Tell me more.

Wow. I definitely had like just this— I was very impulsive. I And it was funny 'cause when I was meeting with my psychiatrist, we were like walking through the list of symptoms and I was like, I have every single one of those symptoms, but it was masked so well in my sport. 'Cause I think in a way it helped me, you know?

Your ADHD helped you in sports?

Yes.

How so?

Well, 'cause I couldn't focus, but I, but with snowboarding that was like the thing I could really lock in on.

'Cause you gotta be in the flow on the slopes.

Mm-hmm.

You can't be distracted in the air.

Yeah. And I wasn't, I was so focused whenever I was was when I had my snowboard attached to my feet, like tunnel vision.

You're in the zone.

In the zone. And I feel like, you know, another symptom I had was just chronic exhaustion. So I, after snowboarding, like I didn't want to go hang out with friends, like I didn't want to go out, like I just wanted to rest. And so I feel like when I was on snow, all I did was snowboard and recover. Snowboard, recover, snowboard, recover. And I also feel like I never really experienced fear. Like, I wasn't really, like, scared of trying tricks. And I have a very vivid just imagination, so I feel like if I wanted to try a trick, I could visualize it before, you know, without even doing it. If I watched videos of other people doing it, I could, like, gauge what they would be seeing and That was always fun because then I'd go try it and I would see what I thought I would see.

And you didn't have fear that what, you would fall or hurt yourself or not make it or— No, really?

Yeah. Which is kind of crazy, huh? Yeah. So that, I would say that's maybe my one superpower that I had in my sport was just, I was always ready to go. Fuck myself.

Fearless. But do you think the ADHD helped you become fearless? Or is it just part of it?

I think it kind of, huh, I don't know how to describe it, but it's almost like because I, my mind was always so occupied and busy, I'm always thinking and, you know, snowboarding being my sport, it was always about snowboarding for the most part. And so I feel like I've thought about everything snowboarding related and then I would just always think about how I could be better at that because that was the one thing I could focus on. So if I had a bad day on, you know, in training, I'd come back home and really just like think about where it went wrong, what I need to try, different things that I could try. Like I would just hyperanalyze, focus on that.

Is this like watching videos of yourself doing this or watching other videos of other people and seeing how you could make this happen in your mind? Or how was it?

Like maybe like remember seeing what I was seeing when I was training and then trying to alter that and correct that.

In your mind?

In my mind.

So not watching video and doing this, but a mental rehearsal?

Mental rehearsal, nonstop, obsessive, nonstop. My mind is so loud. So it did affect my sleep in a lot of ways.

Yeah. Would you be thinking about this all in bed at night, just rehearsing tricks in your mind?

Yeah, whenever I had a moment.

Interesting.

Because I'm competitive, you know, I want to go out there the next day and get it right. I don't— I also hate wasting time. So I'm like, all right, I have 2 more weeks here. Also, sport being weather dependent, right? Right. I'm like, okay, there's 2 sunny days. I need to lock in and get this done on these sunny days. So what can I do right now to prepare for tomorrow?

Do you feel like the constraints of not having snow year-round actually allowed you to be better than if you had the ability to practice, you know, every week all year round?

I mean, you still can practice every week all year round, I guess.

But you were living here, I guess, before.

Yeah. But you know, when I first started and started going pro, I would go to New Zealand. Ah, I would go to, uh, Switzerland. Switzerland. Like go on Mount Hood in Oregon. Mm-hmm. I was always on snow. I'd maybe get a month off each year.

Got it.

But then I got to a point where it's exhausting. It's catching up to me.

It's a lot, right?

Yeah. I remember when I turned 20, I was like, I don't think I can do this anymore. It hurts. Hurts. I also went to college for a year, so I feel like when I came back from that, I was like, wait, there's so many things I'm interested in, and it's sad that I don't get to experience those things. I want to give myself a little more time to become a whole person and not just snowboard. Snowboard.

Yeah. Not just the greatest snowboarder of all time, but someone else that also has a life. Yeah.

Yeah. I would love to have a life seemingly. I don't know.

Yeah.

Yeah. You know, there are other things that I love and I'm very passionate about and I feel like I started to realize that when I was at school actually and started meeting people that had nothing to do with sports, action sports in general, but were just so smart and passionate about other things in their lives and were working towards those things.

Yeah.

I wanted that too, and I feel like I'd already accomplished it in snowboarding. And I think naturally I developed some curiosity for the other sides of the world and the other sides of things that, you know, maybe I could experience.

Yeah.

And so after that awakening, I'll call it, I was like, I don't think I can travel this much anymore. I want to— because I also recognize that I am not going to snowboard forever. And I think when I was at school, I had this scary realization of what am I gonna do after, right? You know, what am I gonna do when I'm—

who am I after sports?

Exactly. Interesting. And I feel like I wanted to nurture that when I was still, you know, a teenager, you know, 20, 19, 20. So I started taking more time for myself. I stopped going to New Zealand and all these places, and I would start training, you know, like mid-fall. As opposed to starting in midsummer.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Interesting.

And also, I don't know, correct me if I'm wrong, but I also heard you never really worked out or you didn't like working out in the gym.

Yeah.

But we actually met in the gym.

I know.

And you're working out.

I know.

When did that— through Roy. So shout out to Roy. But when did you start working out or, you know, enjoying it or liking that process?

I mean, I still don't like Yeah, it's still hard. It's so hard.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know, I'd much rather be eating.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, yeah.

Sugar candy all day.

Eating brunch, you know, with my girls instead of being at the gym for an hour. But I think so when we first met. When was that?

Probably a year and a half, 2 years ago, maybe something like that. Yeah, somewhere around there. Yeah.

Okay.

Is that kind of when you started?

That's when I started being more consistent.

Really?

Yeah.

Why did you decide to, from never working out Or not working out that much except for on the slopes, which is a workout.

Mm-hmm.

But going to the gym and working on, I guess, different types of working out.

Yeah.

Why did you decide to, to take that on?

Well, that was kind of my fitness journey is definitely a journey. So let's talk about it. So I think after the first Olympics 2018, I, some people were telling me that maybe I should look into a trainer cuz I had partially torn my ACL. When I was 15. And I don't know, I just wasn't that strong in that leg. And so obviously, okay, let's work out and hit the gym. Cool. Met a trainer through Nike. That's also how I met Vinny, was through this trainer. And I just like wasn't really consistent. Like I would do it for a bit and then I wouldn't, and then I'd do it. Yeah. But I'm like, oh, I'm so young and like I want to have fun during the summers. Like I didn't really learn time management well yet, you know, like schedules and structure. So then COVID happened. I went to school and then COVID happened into going into my spring semester. And I put on a lot of weight when I was at college.

Really?

But like, whatever. But then COVID hit and we doubled down. Yeah, it was bad.

You doubled down on the weight gain?

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah. Just like eating and eating, you know, chilling, not going outside.

Yeah, of course.

And then I, I think that's also when I started to work with Roy.

It was like during COVID like the 2021, 2022.

Yeah, new one, I think. And then I went back to snowboarding and it hurt like, oh my gosh.

Really?

Yes, because I gained 40 pounds.

Come on.

Yeah, so I was 40 pounds of muscle though, right? You know, you were—

I wish, I really wish. But yeah, so I was sitting at, you know, 40 pounds heavier than I was the last time I snowboarded, and it hurt.

Just like the recovery? I mean, being on the slopes or landing or all of it?

You know, and I, I think that I was like, oh my gosh, I'm getting old because this hurts for the first time. But when you think about it, you were like 20s. I know, I know, it should be fine. But it'd be like, if I fall on my butt kind of hard, I'd be bedridden for a week. Really? Because, you know, we fall from pretty high, like 30, 40 feet in the air, I feel like. Yeah, because the wall's 22 feet. So then you add how much you go from there and then you fall. It's like a lot.

When I go snowboarding and I jump like 3 feet, I'm like scared to fall. If I do a 180, I'm like, I don't want to hurt myself.

You're going so high, so high and doing all these spins and falling a lot. And it just really felt like I was getting beat up. Then I somehow made it to Beijing, but I was still, you know, carrying extra weight on me. And after that season, I was like, I can't do this anymore. This is so painful. It makes me never want to do this again.

It's not enjoyable, huh?

It's not. It's so hard. And I don't like being in this much pain. I'm used to pain, but this is excessive.

Yes.

Over something so small. We fall on our butts all the time. And the fact that I couldn't handle it was just really hard for me.

Yeah.

And so that's when I just locked in. After Beijing, I just locked in and I was like, I'm going to be consistent. I'm going to go every morning. I'm really going to stick to this. I'm going to start jogging. Roy got me onto jogging. Started doing Pilates and I feel great.

Yeah, you look fit.

Thank you.

Yeah, we met in the gym. I'd say there a few different times and I was like, she's fit. Yeah, she's shaped strong.

Yes, I love it so much.

Wow.

And I think now I feel good, like after a workout. So I enjoy how I feel afterwards.

But getting there and starting—

it's getting there is rough.

Yeah.

You know, you know, when he has a start on the bike, that's rough.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Roll your feet on the thing first and then on the bike. What, um, how do you feel getting in the gym the last 4 years supported you physically for this time around at the Olympics then?

I think that if I hadn't put that much work in, I don't think I would've been able to come back in the way I did.

Really?

Yeah. Because, you know, people will still compete in their respective sports with injuries.

Mm-hmm.

Um, and sometimes you need like expedited rehab to get you there, you know, for something like the Olympics.

Yeah.

Like a really important game or whatever. Um, I think the reason why a lot of athletes are able to do that and have such a quick turnaround is because they put in the work before. You know, our muscles do protect us from a lot of things. Yes. You know, people, I have a partially torn ACL and so I got my legs really strong and now everything supported because my legs are strong. Um, I have a thing with my shoulder, you know, my arms are strong, so like it can just support it a bit more than if I didn't have all those, you know, just put all that time into it. And I think that overall I just feel healthier. Like, I feel like I'm not in as much pain as I typically would be after a season, because even one trip to snow, you get pretty banged up.

Yeah.

You know, and so it's nice that when I come home, like, yes, I'm sore, but I can bounce back pretty quickly and find, you know, just peace and painlessness.

Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, now, when was the, uh, was it a couple months ago that the Olympics ended, right? Yeah, a couple months ago. Now that you had a little bit of time to kind of reflect, what is What's the vision for the next few years for you? And you've accomplished everything. Like you said, you accomplished your goal this time around. It, you know, is it trying to create new experiences in life? Are you still trying to train? Like, what's next for your sports career?

I think, you know, I like to give myself time. I feel like I still haven't fully settled.

Yeah.

Because we get— we are so busy post-Olympics, interviews all over the place. Yeah. So I feel like I'm still in the midst of the chaos.

But you're still in the Olympics.

Yeah, I'm still there. Yeah. Um, but I don't— so yeah, I don't know. I don't know. And I don't think I need to know anytime soon. I feel like I have time to make decisions, and I feel like there's a lot of like big decisions that are gonna need to be made. And I also want to honor that I am a person outside of this too, and I want to continue to nurture that side of myself.

Yeah.

And so I'm again really blessed to be in a position where there's not something else I want really badly enough to where I'm going to have tunnel vision and just lock in on that one thing. I think now I'm in a position where I can kind of do what feels right for me. Yeah, it makes sense.

Yeah. I've been watching some of your content just of you talking about your interests outside of sports and, you know, you talking about your relationship a lot more online and sharing photos of you guys. I'm curious, what's the biggest lesson that he's taught you through this journey as he's top in the world of what he does? And shout out Cleveland Browns, but I'm from Ohio. But is there any lesson that he's taught you through this journey from one elite athlete to another?

First of all, so inspirational. It's been really fun to be by his side and support him and watch him do all of these amazing things. There's He's the most deserving. He works so hard, hard. And I think that's definitely a big takeaway. So consistent. Like, he's always working his butt off no matter what. Sick. When he— sometimes he's like so sick. I remember one time he was like coughing all night, did not get much sleep, still shows up, goes to the gym, does his ridiculously hard 2-hour workout. The only trade-off is, is he'll take like a 6-hour nap.

I'm out.

Yeah, but he's getting everything he needs to do first and and he's, you know, sleeping, bodywork, everything.

Yeah.

Me, on the other hand, I'm like, absolutely not. I am not doing this. I need to be babied. I need someone to take care of me.

If I'm coughing, I'm sleeping.

Yeah, exactly.

Um, that's interesting.

So that's something I really admire about him.

So he's very disciplined no matter what.

So disciplined. So stubbornly disciplined.

Wow.

I think there are moments where I'm like, maybe don't push yourself so hard. Like, you slept for 2 hours. Like, this can't be good for you.

He's like, no, I gotta He wants to be great.

And I now I'm like, do your thing, you know?

Wow.

Lesson learned.

So that mindset. But it seems like he has a lot of fun too with you. I mean, at least like what's the looks like? Yeah, that's good.

Yeah. I mean, it's fun because we have so many things in common, so it's really easy. And I feel like us both being athletes, we get each other too. There are a lot of times I'm like, yeah, yeah, you're good. Yeah, yeah, you're good.

So when was the first time you won a big competition? What year was that? How old were you? Hmm.

I think I've won multiple big competitions for the first time. Like the first big competition I won was like for the youth division. I was 9.

9?

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Cool. It was my first international competition. Wow. And yeah, I was like 15 and under was the age.

And you won at 9?

Yeah.

You beat 15-year-olds?

That's crazy.

Wow.

I know.

So that was what, is that 15 years ago? 15, 16 years ago? Like your first big competition that you won?

Yeah. Right.

International level. If you could go back and speak to, you know, 9-year-old Chloe with all the wisdom and lessons you've learned.

Yeah.

Knowing everything you're going to accomplish over the last 15, 16 years.

Yeah.

What wisdom or advice would you share with her if she was sitting right across from you?

I feel like this is a very common question, and I love the idea about, like, you know, I love the idea. At the same time though, I don't think I would say anything.

Okay.

And I think that's also a very common response. Sure.

Yeah. Yeah.

Because not that it's a bad question or anything. I think it's more so just I became who I am because of everything I experienced in the way that I did.

Yeah.

And I don't think I would change anything about my journey to get here. I think everything that I endured, whether it be amazing or incredibly difficult, was all meant to be. And I think that's how I learned to navigate such difficult moments in my life. I think sport is one of the greatest lessons.

Yes, it is.

And, you know, I, I am so grateful that I got to grow in a sport and go through some really intense moments at such a young age. Because now I feel like I can get through whatever and accomplish whatever I put my mind to.

Yeah, that's beautiful. What's the biggest lesson your dad taught you from all those years of supporting and coaching and encouraging and investing in time to support you in accomplishing your dreams and goals as well?

Hmm, my dad's taught me a lot, and I think very common in Asian families, but dads typically tend to be a bit more emotionally distant, and that's where we butt heads the most.

Really?

Yeah, because I would just be having a bad day, whatever, and he would just be so frustrating to me. And like, my dad's such a talker, he loves talking. Like, if you run into him on the street and say we know each other, like, he will talk to you for hours. So much to say. Um, but I think my dad is— he taught me— it's a good question. He's taught me so much. There's— is there anything that really stands out in that way? I think he just taught me how to be— like, to— he taught me what support— like, the true definition of love and just support as a parent. Mm-hmm. Just blindly trusting that this is gonna work, that we're gonna do everything we can on our end to make this happen. And like, he's going to love and support me unconditionally, you know, even though some days he's spending all this money to send me off to training and I had a terrible time training. Always just like believe that it's gonna work out some way, shape, or form, and that he's going to support me until the very end. Until we go completely broke, which is when I was— which is when I was going to be 13.

And then you started making some money and started working out.

Yeah. Now we're moving now. Like, now we can, like, buy tickets for planes.

Well, that's great.

Yeah.

Tax and bonus season is one of those sneaky little moments. You check your account, you see a refund or a bonus, and for about 10 seconds you feel rich, like Ooh, maybe I'll go buy some expensive gift for myself. Then reality kicks in. But here is the thing. That moment right there is actually kind of powerful for us. For most of us, extra money hits the account and suddenly it already has plans because something needs to be fixed, something needs paid for, or something you've wanted for forever is calling your name. There's no shame in this. Life is full. Things break, plans pop up. But what if just for a minute you paused, like just for a second, not because you have to, but because you want to ask a better question. Not what can I buy right now, but what would actually feel good about this later? And instead of the moment running you, you make an intentional move, not a big dramatic one, just a simple decision that leaves you feeling a little more steady and a little more in control, specifically with your money. And if you get a tax refund or a bonus, try asking a different question. Not what can I buy today, but how can I give my bonus a bonus? Or how can I turn my tax refund into more funds? It's a small shift, but it changes the energy and suddenly it isn't just extra cash. It's an opportunity. One simple, intentional decision can help you feel a little bit more in control, a little more steady. And honestly, that feels better than an impulse purchase you forget about in 2 weeks. And that's why I like how U.S. Bank approaches tax and bonus season. They know these moments matter.

Justworks, for your people. Now I'm a, you know, I'm a new dad. I have twin girls, 5 and a half months old. Is there any advice you have for me for being the best father I can be to young girls who have their own dreams and hopes and goals? Any advice you'd give to me or any other fathers out there who have daughters?

My advice to you as someone with no kids.

As someone who had a girl, sounds like a father that was really encouraging. And I'm sure it wasn't perfect all the time and it was like maybe is hard or whatever, but from what you experienced with your father, any advice of what to do, what not to do, or encouragement for fathers out there?

I would say just to be as present as possible. Honestly, I think experience is the greatest teacher, and I can't sit here and be like, well, support them. Like, that could mean different to your daughters. That could mean something entirely different to you. But I think You have to be open to learning and growing and evolving with them and just being present, you know, and just being there.

Do you feel like your dad was pretty present most of the time, or was he just driven on you accomplishing and getting better mostly?

I think he was. My, my dad also definitely has ADHD.

He's all over the place too.

He's like all over the place, but he always showed up. Yeah, and he was— he is the most reliable person in my life. Um, you know, I'll call him and if I'm washing my hands on FaceTime and he hears the sink make a funny sound, he's like, I'm coming over tomorrow afternoon to fix that. Oh, that's like the water is like weird. Um, I think he always similar to me, and I feel like I kind of took this from him, but before I was obsessively thinking about how to be a better snowboarder, he was doing that for me. And so he'd always come up with cool new ideas. My dad recognized one time randomly that— so I'm goofy, right?

Which people means— what does it mean for people? You're silly in life too.

No, so goofy in snowboarding means that your right foot is forward. But my dad felt like if my back arm was flailing while I was snowboarding, it would make me really unstable.

If your left arm was flailing like my back arm. Yeah.

So my dad attached this, like, little tennis keychain. It was a little ball on my pants, and he made me hold that while I was snowboarding and doing tricks, pretty much.

That's interesting.

And so now when I snowboard, it was so— but it worked.

Like, my arms are very stable as opposed to like out here flailing around out there. And that's what he used to do.

Yeah. So it works. My dad was an engineer, so he has this engineer mind and he's always thinking all these things. And he also— this is before it was common. So when I started doing well in competitions is because I became really good at riding switch. So switch means I'm riding in the opposite way. So now my left foot is forward.

Yeah.

Just unnatural to me.

So hard. Every time I switch into goofy, I'm like, I feel like I'm going to fall every time. Yeah. So you got good at riding both sides?

Yeah. So my dad would make me, you know, he'd get mad when I didn't do it because it was so important to him. And in hindsight, for me as a snowboarder now, to be good at riding switch. So whenever I was getting on the chairlift, it had to be switch. Whenever I was riding down to the halfpipe, had to be switch. Everything had to be switch. I had to like do a whole day in the halfpipe, just switch, hitting all the— going off all the jumps switch, doing everything I could switch. Because he really wanted me to get good at riding switch. And he recognized before I did that switch riding is going to be really, really helpful.

Huge. Oh, it's going to be huge. And now it's like you have to like reverse almost to be good.

Yeah, exactly.

It gets you more points, right?

Yes. Yes. So back then though, no one was really doing that. Except for the Sochi gold medalist, Caitlin Farrington. She's really good at spinning backside and was really good at riding switch.

And you were what, 13 then? Is that right? So he was like, you need to start doing this in order— he really saw the future.

He saw me do it way before then, though.

Wow. But he saw the future like, okay, when you're 16, when you're 20, when you're 24, if you're not doing this, you're not going to win.

Yeah.

Or this will give you a greater chance.

Yeah.

That's some great vision from your father.

Yeah, so we definitely butt heads a lot because to me I'm like, this is so dumb, like I should just be working on bigger tricks in my natural way. But he was like, no.

Wow. Yeah, so you gotta listen to your dad sometimes, right? Even if you didn't want to.

I know, too. Yeah, I mean, now we have a much better relationship. I think after the first Olympics he was kind of able to let me go. He definitely was a tiger parent.

Really?

A thousand percent. Again, I didn't want to snowboard. Like, that wasn't my sport. So I kind of just did it.

And, you know, you did it because he wanted you to do it pretty much. But at least he was showing up with you all those times, right? He was like, he had to be on the slopes with you.

Exactly.

So you're spending some, I guess, quality time together too. You're spending a lot of— Yeah, but he was on top of you.

Yeah. My dad is— was a very intense person. So it was hard. It's hard. I definitely have some trauma, but But we're in such a good place now that I think as I reflect, um, you know, whether it be in therapy or on my own, I am really grateful for him. Yeah, I think, you know, at the end of the day, regardless of how much you love somebody, you can still hurt them, and we definitely hurt each other.

Yeah.

So yeah, I think very forgiving. Like, I understand where he's coming from. Like, could he have been a little better? Absolutely. But I can't hold that against him.

Yeah, but he also helped you become the greatest of all time. So that's exactly, you know, this—

yeah, yeah, yeah.

And he didn't ruin the rela— he didn't ruin the relationship, which is good. I'm curious, you've mentioned therapy, you've mentioned you've talked to a psychologist before. I've worked with sports psychologists, I've worked with different therapists over the years for my own personal healing journey. What is the biggest lessons you've learned through therapy and starting to create awareness around having ADHD and your own healing experience?

I think, I think I started really actually going to therapy, I think it's been almost 2 years now, and it wasn't sport related. But I, I tried to go to, you know, see sports psychologists and whatnot to get better in my sport, but I, I was getting kind of frustrated because it just felt like, you guys don't know what I'm talking about, so I don't really want to sit here and explain everything to you because I feel like if I have to explain it to you, you don't understand.

Yeah.

And I'm paying you to trust them. Yes, right. I don't trust you at all. And so I was like, okay, maybe I need therapy. The reason for therapy wasn't sport related. It was mainly because I felt that I wasn't— it just felt like I wasn't being a good person in life.

In life, like friends, family, press, or like friends, family, relationships, all of it.

I just felt like I was not showing up in the way that I should, and I think that made me very concerned because my intentions are always good. Like, I always want to be a good person, but sometimes it was so hard to be that.

And did someone confront you and say, hey, you're not— they're not showing up for me, or you're kind of like got a bad attitude every time you're around me, or is it more internal, uh, I'm really, you know, I saw someone was hurt or whatever. Like, how did you come to this?

I think it was a combination because I think that everyone in my life is so kind and so supportive and so giving and genuine. And I think that, you know, they also were very understanding that I'm experiencing a lot. You know, they see how busy my life is, they see how much pressure, you know, people are putting onto me. They're seeing all of it.

You're so young at the time. You're exactly 21, whatever it is.

Yeah, very unstable. I'm feeling very unstable person.

What are you trying to figure out your life? Exactly. I didn't start figuring things out until my early 30s. Yeah, it was like you really don't know who you are. You're as a 21-year-old. Yeah. And you have all this pressure and everyone's asking you questions.

Like, yeah.

So really grateful for everyone being so understanding. But I think for me, I, I would also catch it, you know, catch it, be like, damn, I don't think that was nice. Yeah, I'm like, I don't think I should have handled things that way. But it was so hard for me to recognize that in the moment, like stop myself from getting there. So I was like, okay, I'm gonna try to go to therapy. And I love my therapist, she's great, awesome, love catching up with her. And we made a lot of progress, like a lot of progress with my mentality, like the way that I expressed myself. It was a lot of hard work. I was seeing her 3 times a week.

I've been there. I've done that before. 3 times a week. Oh yeah. Like 5 hours on a weekend. You're, yeah, I couldn't.

Yeah.

You gotta go all the way.

Emergencies.

Oh yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Like, hey, like I know it's 11, but like, oof, girl, I need you. Yeah, you know, so shout out to her for showing up for me always. But the ADHD, I just felt like, you know, I have been working on myself for 2 years, not expecting a full 180 in 2 years, but it still feels like a lot of time and like a lot of sessions. And she's great, and I feel like I'm being very receptive and I'm doing my best, and I can recognize the changes that I've made through our sessions. However, there's this one little thing that wouldn't quite go away, and it was I, I just like was a very reactive person.

Like if you were triggered by something, you would react, boom, explode, explode. Like how would this be? You'd scream, you'd say something you didn't like, you would walk away.

Like I would feel it, like my— I would get so hot, like so warm, so like I don't know, like maybe see red kind of vibes, but not really. Like, I would never hurt anyone.

Sure.

But you feel it. Just like, just feel my heart starts racing. Like, my mind is going a million miles an hour. I'm thinking about all these things. And I hated that because I always wanted to be calm, understanding, logical, assess the situation. Before, you know, having any type of reaction. But I couldn't even do that. I was like, instant boom. I don't like that. That triggered me. Blah.

You say whatever you said. Yeah.

Yeah.

Or you do something or you walk away or whatever.

Yeah. Yeah. And like, you know, I'm not breaking stuff.

Yeah. Yeah.

But I'm like, you know, very upset and I didn't like that. And so I just felt like it was more than like, I didn't feel like, I felt like it was too big of an issue for me to wait another 2, 3 years for it to get better. If that makes sense.

Because it wasn't getting better by itself.

It wasn't getting— yeah, like, you know, I think if I wasn't good at communicating or like expressing my emotions, you know, outside of a really like triggering environment, that, okay, we can take the 2 to 5 years to work on that. But like me feeling enraged in that way is not something I want to work towards for another 3 years. Wow.

So you're like, I need this to happen now. I need to resolve this.

Because I didn't like how I felt after. It made me really sad because it's regret, but I just felt like there was nothing I could do to get out of that in those moments. So saw a psychiatrist. And mind you, this— these wouldn't happen often.

Sure.

That's another thing. Like, it wasn't like screaming every day, like freaking out every day. No, but like, I like structure, I like consistency, I like all of that. And so when all of those things would fall through, like, I would start feeling it.

Yeah.

So yeah, I saw a psychiatrist and he was like, wow, so you have like severe ADHD. It's severe. And you also, um, have depression and anxiety. But he was like, your ADHD is so severe, let's regulate that first because the depression and the anxiety can also be caused by the ADHD.

Okay.

So yeah. I feel good.

But you feel like a lot more like calm and relaxed and less reactive?

More calm, relaxed. Like, I feel like I had multiple situations come up in the past week where that would have been kind of not triggering, but like a little stressful to me and anxiety-inducing. But I was like, okay, no worries, like let's just pivot. I was like, wow, look at you, you started to shift. Yeah, yeah, I know. And I also had my session with my therapist yesterday, and I was like, I still want to work with you, but I feel like now during our sessions I can actually start just healing my trauma and like talking about those things because I'm not so caught up emotionally about what happened 2 days ago. Now I can start talking about like things that I should—

interesting.

So a lot of your sessions were around like, this just happened, I need to figure out what to do now because my mind just is freaking out over here all the time.

I was— I'm so insane. I would like talk to myself in the car because my mind is so crazy that I'm like having conversations with myself in the car because my mind will not shut Sleeping was terrible, nonstop. So it was like snowboarding was the most chill time for me, right? Because I could just focus on snowboarding.

You're in the zone.

But the minute I got out of it, oh my gosh.

Wow. And so now what I'm hearing you say is when you meet with your therapist, you can actually go back to the root of what's causing the stress or where the trigger lies or wherever the wound is emotionally or psychologically, right?

Yeah, because I was going to my therapist already triggered.

Like, I just had this happen today.

Yeah, I don't know how to deal with this. Yeah. Wow. So I'm really excited about that.

So you haven't— you haven't unpacked what that kind of deeper root cause is yet. It's just now starting.

Yeah.

Well, I'm excited for you.

Thank you.

Because this is where— I mean, it sounds like you've done a lot of work to get here in the last couple of years. And I encourage you to keep diving deep because it can be terrifying and scary. Yeah, but it can. I used to have chest pain for years. Like, like a sharp chest pain. And I used to feel like someone was choking me.

Oh my gosh.

Just because of the psychological and emotional wounds that I was holding on to from the past. And I remember after going deeper and deeper into therapy, I, I got to a place where I could finally, like, heal my heart. As weird as this sounds, like the pain in a moment, it like all made sense. In my nervous system where the pain went away and I felt free for the first time.

Wow, that's amazing.

The first time, this is about 4 or 5 years ago.

And how long did that process take?

I mean, I've been doing different therapy. I mean, I started when I was— I'm 43 now, so I started when I was 30, kind of going to workshops and doing therapy. I did that for maybe a year, 2 years, and it really helped me heal a lot. I mean, I went through a lot of stuff as well, and then I maybe didn't go back for many years because I felt like a lot better. But then new things came up from a different relationship that triggered me and I was like, oh, there's still more inside of me that's holding me back. And why do I have this pain and why is this going on? So I went back again and, and I felt like it doesn't mean every day is perfect. I still get like frustrated, but I don't hold on to the pain. Yeah, I still can get triggered and reactive, but I don't explode like I did 10, 15 years ago.

Right.

So I react in different ways. I catch myself much faster and I typically respond a lot better. Yeah, I'm not like, "Eh, I shouldn't have done that" anymore. You know, whereas in the past I was like, "I really need to apologize about what I said or how I reacted." Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm just like, okay, I just didn't feel good, but I learned to respond. With more peace. Or I learned to like pause and not say anything until I was ready. Or I didn't send that email from her anger. I slept on it and then I edited it and then I said that, you know, it's like it's learning. Yeah, I guess the psychological and emotional tools.

Damn, you're sending off heated emails.

I mean, text emails, I mean, all sorts of stuff probably. I mean, I can't remember how this stuff, you know, but it's like I got into fistfights, you know, playing basketball games in West Hollywood. Probably right near, right near where you train. Yeah, I was on the basketball court 13 years ago and I got in a fistfight for just being triggered by a guy.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah, it was like explosive. And so I've had to learn how to heal, but it's all coming from a root cause of like the wounds.

Yeah, totally.

And, you know, you had different wounds. I had wounds. Everyone's got wounds, but it's learning how to mend those wounds have given me a lot of peace.

Absolutely.

And then it's also refreshing and staying in that process of healing as it's always— it's an ongoing journey.

Yeah.

You know, it's just like I could easily fall back into it if I'm not practicing. And so that's why I'm really excited to hear this about you, because I think a lot of people might see you and say, you know, Chloe's got it all figured out. She's a world champion. She's the greatest of all time. She's got it put together. She's got the great relationship. You know, she's in Fashion Week. She's doing all the cool things. But to hear you speak about this, it's not a facade. It's a part of what you've created. But what I'm hearing you say, this is the stuff I'm most excited about.

Yeah.

Because I think so many people hearing this, it gives them permission to say, okay, if I've got some triggers, it's okay for me to go and look into it. And it's not something I have to be ashamed of. It's something I can be excited about figuring out how to respond differently. And so I'm really excited that you're sharing this.

Thank you. And thank you for sharing.

Wow.

Look at us. You deserve one. Look at—

I just think it's, you know, as an athlete, I grew up playing sports and I was, you know, I played arena football, so I was never good as your boyfriend, but I played arena football and I was a decathlete and— oh, wow. And I'm currently, you know, I was on the USA—

that's intense.

Yeah. I mean, I've had my own sports journey.

Wow.

And I love your advice as well. I don't know if you see this over here. There's a handball. I'm currently, I've been on the USA national team for team handball for almost a decade. So I'm still pursuing my Olympic dream in LA 2028. And I haven't been on the USA team in about 5 years, but I played for almost a decade with the team. So I'm trying to get back into the USA national team.

Oh my gosh.

To go to the Olympics here in LA. In 2.5 years. And it's my own journey because most of the athletes are 23 years old. I'm 43, so I'm 20 years older than most of the athletes. So I've got my own challenges that I'm— and that I'm facing right now. And at this age, it's not about training 10 hours a day and over— going the extra mile. It's actually about doing the bare minimum at the highest level as possible so I can recover more, right?

Right.

And so I'm curious, and I really believe the emotional healing has given me the longevity as an athlete as well. So I'm curious, your advice for me as an athlete trying to pursue the Olympic dream where there's no guarantee for me, and this will be my last chance, LA 2028. What advice do you have for me as I've been pursuing this for 16 years? Trying to— being on and off the USA national team.

Yeah.

And I'm still pursuing it at this season of life. Any advice you have for me with all the experience, wisdom, and success you have as an Olympian?

Oh my gosh. I feel like I can't give you advice on this, like, because what you're doing is so incredible, you know?

Thank you.

And I—

there's no guarantees I'm going to make the team.

Yeah, but I don't think that matters. I think what matters right now is that when you are working so hard to accomplish this dream of yours, I think that's incredible in itself. I think the only thing I would say maybe is to not compare yourself to anybody. You know, you truly don't know what's going on. It maybe isn't all glitz and glamour, like, as we're learning about ourselves. Just do what you do best. You know, there's only one you, and just because you're a little bit older than everyone else doesn't mean that you won't be able to accomplish it. I think at the end of the day, hard work beats talent. And it sounds like you're working pretty damn hard.

Working hard. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

I mean, you've already won.

Tax and bonus season is one of those sneaky little moments. You check your account, you see a refund or a bonus, and for about 10 seconds you feel rich, like, ooh, maybe I'll go buy some expensive gift for myself. Then reality kicks in. But here is the thing. That moment right there is actually kind of powerful for us. For most of us, extra money hits the account and suddenly it already has plans because something needs to be fixed, something needs paid for, or something you've wanted for forever is calling your name. There's no shame in this. Life is full. Things break, plans pop up. But what if just for a minute you paused like back just for a second, not because you have to, but because you want to ask a better question. Not what can I buy right now, but what would actually feel good about this later? And instead of the moment running you, you make an intentional move, not a big dramatic one, just a simple decision that leaves you feeling a little more steady and a little more in control, specifically with your money. And if you get a tax refund or a bonus, try asking a different question. Not what can I buy today, but how can I give my bonus a bonus? Or how can I turn my tax refund into more funds? It's a small shift, but it changes the energy and suddenly it isn't just extra cash. It's an opportunity. One simple, intentional decision can help you feel a little bit more in control a little more steady. And honestly, that feels better than an impulse purchase you forget about in 2 weeks. And that's why I like how U.S. Bank approaches tax and bonus season. They know these moments matter. U.S. Bank Smart Lease Savings is designed for people who want flexibility while earning competitive promotional rates. And if you are in a place where you do not need immediate access to that money, US Bank CD Specials let you lock in a guaranteed rate for a set period of time. It's so simple, it's straightforward, and it's about saving your way. Growing your money without overcomplicating it.

When you are building something great, the people around you matter from day one. And I know how easy it is to get pulled away from the work that actually moves the mission forward. That is where Justworks comes in. It's an HR platform built for small businesses that care about growth and their people. Payroll, benefits, compliance, hiring, all handled in one place so you can stay focused on what matters most. Go to justworks.com to learn more. They do your human resources right so you can do right by your people.

Justworks, for your people. That's the goal. But how do you not— what advice would you give to me or someone pursuing a goal or a dream in life, whether it's the Olympics or anything else? How do you not How do you focus on the process without thinking about the prize of whether it's the medal, the team, the money, the relationship? Like, how do you focus on the process even though you have the goal in mind but not being attached to the outcome?

Control what you can control. You know, like, you— the things you can control, you can work hard, you can be disciplined, you can You know, be mindful about your recovery, invest in yourself. Though it may seem selfish in the beginning, it's not. I think investing in yourself is the greatest gift that you could give yourself. Um, I think set little goals, and I think it makes the journey much more exciting than dreadful. Yeah, I think it's so easy to 2, 5, 10 years into the future and being like, oh my gosh, that's so crazy. Like, I don't know if I'll be able to do that. I'm not— maybe, you know, I'm not good enough yet. I don't know if I'll be healthy. I don't know what my life is gonna look like. That I'm scared. My therapist tells me that humans are naturally scared of the unknown, so that anxiety, the fear, the doubt is so natural and normal. Um, but at the end of the day, if you set small goals for yourself, control what you can control, I feel like you're gonna look up one day and be exactly where you wanted to be.

Yeah. That's pretty— it's so interesting now we're talking and you're saying this to me, that you were actually a part of my Olympic journey dream because 2 years ago I hadn't played in 4 years cuz I got injured. I hurt my Achilles.

Oh.

So I was playing up until about 2020 and then COVID happened. I was going through a breakup, I hurt my Achilles and I was like, maybe I'm done. And maybe this Olympic dream is over. And then a couple of years go by and I start recovering and I actually call Vinny and I say, Vinny, this dream is still alive, this Olympic dream. I go, can you help me? Give me a game plan and work with me. And he goes, connect with Roy. Come in here, come into Mild Detox. I'll work on you. Connect with Roy. And so I started training with Roy. And probably, I don't know, 6 months after that, I meet you and I see you in there and he's like, yeah, Chloe's in here and she's working on her stuff. And, and so you're actually a part of my Olympic journey as inspiring me when we were in the gym together. And it's kind of cool, you know, 2 years later now we're talking about this and there's 2 more years to go for this journey for me.

But I'm so excited.

Yeah, it's cool. I'm curious about, you know, you mentioned like this doubt again and I've got a few more questions for you, but You mentioned about this doubt. How do people— a lot of people tie their self-worth with their performance and the results. How have you learned to not tie your inner self-worth with the results of Olympic gold or success?

I think you just have to be present. I think we accomplish so many great things on a day-to-day basis. You know, whether it be getting up in the morning, you know, taking care of ourselves, um, spending time with our loved ones, whatever that may be. I think that it's so, again, easy to look at other people's lives and compare yourselves and maybe wish that that were yours. But I always think that you're exactly where you're supposed to be, and Like, I think awards and all of that are great. It's instant gratification. You're standing at the top of the podium, you're walking away with this big trophy. But as somebody who's experienced it multiple times, I would say that at the end of the day, it never— after the first, the first gold medal, it doesn't hit the same.

Really?

Yeah. And I think I think I wish that I had celebrated maybe like my smaller wins and maybe if I had done that, all my wins would've meant a bit more.

Did you ever celebrate the wins or did you just kind of like onto the next, onto the next?

It was always onto the next.

Really?

Yes. Like after my first gold, I started prepping for my next competition and it was a little hectic because I had to do a bunch of press after the Olympics and like like, you know, even after my first X Games medal when I was 13, I was like the youngest to get a medal. It was just straight to the next. I went to, you know, Switzerland in my next event. Like, I never took a moment to celebrate my wins.

Do you even— do you even have like dinner afterwards and say, okay, let's celebrate this and have a moment? Or was it more of like—

yeah, but I feel like I also just was— I am more of an introvert. I just wanna lay in bed. Yeah. Yeah. I'm tired. I'm overstimulated. I just wanna lay down. But I also think that my mindset was a bit messed up because I always felt like every time I was on the podium, I was like, well, yeah, that's why I should be.

I'm, I'm meant to be here.

I'm meant to be here. Like I have to be here. And that was really hard for me. And I experienced that for over 10 years. I was like, yeah, well, I felt like if I didn't win, that was a problem, you know, then I did bad if I didn't win. And that was something I had to talk my way out of. Mm-hmm.

Because like mental work, mental talk. Yeah. Yeah.

Because it became so toxic and I didn't like the way it made me feel.

How'd you learn to talk? What did you say to talk yourself out of that? Or what did you think?

I think that, hmm, I don't know if I really had to. I think it was more of a shift in perspective where I recognize that I love all the girls I compete with and I'm so happy for them, and genuinely I am. And I'm not saying like I would be bummed if I didn't win. You know, I've gotten like, yes, I've won a lot, but I've also not won a lot. And at the end of the day, I'm so happy for all the girls. And I think it had to happen to me once where, mm-hmm, you know, I was on, had a winning streak and then like one of my good friends took the gold and I genuinely was so happy for her because in that moment I was like, dude, we trained together.

Like, this is her dream also.

Yes. Like, you are working your butt off just like I am. Where you're— I've seen her get injured, like, I've seen her come back stronger. I've seen her— her name is Coral, she's Spanish, she's— I love her to death. Wow. Um, but she kind of broke this winning streak I had, and I was like, I am so happy for you. And I think once I experienced that, it's like, okay, yeah, this is fine, this is great, because I do love them. I just think I needed to experience it, to form an opinion on it.

Because you hadn't lost in like years, probably.

Yeah.

You're like, I'm 8 years in, I haven't lost.

Yeah.

Interesting. So you took—

I mean, and you probably got second or third or something, I'm assuming. So it wasn't like, oh, you know, but what did losing teach you about your life?

Well, one, I think— I don't think you could ever call it losing, right? Yeah. And that's something you have to learn, you know, teach yourself yourself too as you navigate this, because there's no such thing as losing. I think every— it's such an easy thing to say and an easy way to describe something that is complex, so it's almost unfair. So I think, you know, not winning a gold doesn't mean that you failed. It means that you showed up, you still showed up, and you still got there, and you still went out there and gave it your all. And I think that alone is winning. I think that's the whole point of sport, is showing up even in moments of doubt, even in moments of like, you know, just hardship and struggling and all of that. There are so many moments where I'm like, I don't know if I could make it to tomorrow. I don't know if I can show up tomorrow. I don't know if I have it in me. I had such a hard day today. I suck. Like, I'm scared I'm not gonna do well in my competition tomorrow. And if you remove yourself from it, it doesn't matter. Like, it doesn't matter. I'm so grateful for all the experiences I've had because again, there's so many lessons I've learned through snowboarding that I would have learned so much later down the line in life that I'm at an advantage in life.

Yeah.

Like, now I'm in this place where I'm turning 26 this year and I feel like I have 60 years of wisdom. Wow.

Yeah, that's beautiful.

I'm sure you've experienced that too through sport.

Yeah, I mean, sports taught me everything. I mean, I didn't do well in school. I was like bottom of my class and I couldn't pay attention, you know? So sports was my outlet. It's where I learned all my lessons. Yeah. And it's, it's taught me so much. I wouldn't be where I am without sports.

Exactly.

But, you know, what I'm hearing you say, there is no losing. It's either you win or you learn. Yeah, it's kind of what I'm hearing you say. So you're learning about how you showed up. I think that's really cool. And I'm really, I'm really grateful for you showing up, Chloe. I've got two final questions. That's okay. Before I ask you the final questions, is there any question you wish people asked you more?

Is this one of the final questions?

No, it's not. It's not.

I don't think so. I think I really appreciate people's curiosity towards me. I really do appreciate it. I think wanting to be known is to be loved. So, you know, if you see me, obviously unless you're asking me like a genuinely stupid question that you know is stupid, like I— and I feel like I could sense that, um, or if you want to joke with me, no worries, like I'll laugh along, whatever. But I, you know, if people see me out and about, I want them to ask away. I feel like I love sharing whatever I can. I love— I would love if people could learn a little something from me. It doesn't have to be much, whatever, whether it be like the type of blush I use to like, you know, my mindset going into the competition, whatever, you know.

What do you need from me?

About you? Yeah.

Well, in some other interview they can ask you about the blush you use. I'm going to go about the mindset. You got other platforms for that. For me, I'm fascinated about mindset. And for me, it's like, you are the best in the world at what you do. And this is the School of Greatness, not the School of Average. So it's about understanding the way you think, the way you feel, how you respond. And I'm just, I'm grateful that you're opening up about the things you're learning at this season of life. With all the success you have, knowing there's deeper levels of peace and prosperity and abundance in you. So I'm, I'm really excited about that. I think it's going to help a lot of people. So thank you for sharing that.

This is a question—

the final two questions. Before I ask them, I want people to follow you on social media. Chloe Kim on Instagram and all the different places. You're on a media run right now with— you're still in the Olympic season. So again, I want people to watch all your stuff and check you out on social media and see what you're up to. Is there anywhere else we should send people to, to follow you or to be a part of your platforms?

You know what's so funny is I am so bad on social media. I got social media a lot later than my friends did.

Just your parents wouldn't let you? Or there was that like—

I just had no interest.

You're like, I just wanna snowboard.

Yeah. And I was also the kid that, But, you know, growing up, I have two sisters. They're my half sisters. And I only say that because there's quite a big age gap, 10 and 15 years. So while they're watching TV in the house, like, I was digging up isopods in the front yard, like, trying to find bugs and, like, you know, finding little spiders and stuff. I just liked being outside more.

That's great.

So I actually got social media out of necessity because it was when I was 13 and I just qualified for the Olympics. Couldn't go, and everyone was like, you need to get Instagram. Yeah, that's where things are going.

Yeah.

Um, but I'm trying. But also, like, don't be surprised if in 5 years my Instagram is completely gone and I'm on a ranch somewhere. Yeah, that's my dream.

That's good.

Yeah.

Okay, cool. Uh, this question is something I ask everyone at the end. It's called the 3 truths. So it's a hypothetical question. Imagine you get to live as long as you want to live on Earth and you're as old as you want to be and you get to create and experience and accomplish all of your wildest dreams from this moment until that day. And maybe that's you living on a ranch for the rest of your life. I don't know. But hypothetically, it's the end of your life. And for whatever reason, everything you've shared, this conversation, all the videos you've ever made are gone. This hypothetical world. But on the last day, you get to leave behind 3 lessons, 3 truths, 3 truths that you feel are true to you from your experiences that you would share with people? And this is all we would have of your, your lessons and your content. What would those 3 truths or 3 lessons be for you?

I feel like on my PR ones, I really like, be kind, be grateful, you know.

But what's it real? What's really, what's really inside of you though?

Well, I think 3 might take me a while, but that's okay. First one that jumped at me was is keep learning. And I only say this because my dad is 70. He's currently in Japan going to culinary school.

That's cool.

And my dad— wow— is also learning Japanese.

Wow.

And he is walking to his classes every day. It's a 2-mile walk. And he just has always had such a curious mind and and just this need for knowledge. And I think he's really inspired me to just, no matter how old you are, you can always try something, learn something, experience something new for the first time.

That's cool.

So, Chills, right? He's awesome. Um, I love— I'll show you a picture of him in his school uniform. He looks so cute.

That's cool. Yeah, please do. Um, keep learning would be your first truth.

Yes, my second In truth, take care of yourself. Kind of a broader lesson, but whatever that means to you. For me, taking care of myself is putting myself first. I will always do my best to achieve my dreams. My hopes, my ambitions. Um, and taking care of myself also means to show up for others because that means a lot to me. Yeah, you know, I love being the supportive character in one's life. So cool. That's a big part of it. Third, have fun. Honestly, have fun. Just have fun. Live your best life. I know this is so cliché, but I mean, I guess when I was a teenager, everyone was like, "YOLO, YOLO, you only live once." But you do only live once.

That's true.

Enjoy it.

That's cool.

And I think these days, whenever I'm going through a difficult time, I try to think about things that I'm grateful for, things that make me happy. I am surrounded by the most incredible people. I feel like I have such a great support system. If I'm having a bad day, I'll call Miles and we'll play games together and that cheers me up.

That's cool.

Call my best friends, always cheer me up, sharing funny stories. I think the goal is always to start my day with a smile and end it with one.

That's beautiful.

That's what I strive for. I don't know if those are good lessons. I'm like—

So powerful. Yeah. And maybe at the end of your life you'll have different ones, but I think that's— those are 3 great ones.

I know. Should we meet back here in like 30 years?

Yeah, sooner than that. Yeah, sooner than that you'll be back here.

Yeah.

Update.

Exactly. We'll do an update in a few years. Serious. Before I ask the final question, Chloe, I want to acknowledge you because for me, I'm always trying to find people to bring on here who can share unique experiences of life. And you have such unique experience and I just think you have a fascinating mindset. The way you analyze how you live your life. You know, I know you're laughing, but for me it's like most people never have access to this type of information. And I haven't seen you share this much on how you think about pressure, performance, overcoming challenges, therapy, healing, psychology, all in one place. Maybe there's little different things around. But so for me, this is like a masterclass of understanding your mindset of how to live the best life possible.

Does it make sense?

For me, it does.

Okay.

Yeah, for me it does.

No, for me it does.

But it's like I've been asking these questions for people for 13 years on this every week. So, yeah. I think it's fascinating because you— and from this conversation, I've learned that for most of your life, you were driven to accomplish and achieve at the highest level. And in some ways, it came easily for you because you were talented, but it became easy because you were obsessed with like going all in and visualizing and rehearsing in your mind and seeing an idea and saying all night, how can I make this happen tomorrow? And then doing it and acting, acting on that for 20 years, essentially almost, you know. So for me, that level of commitment to accomplishing a dream is really inspiring. But then also on the other side saying, okay, I also recognize there are certain parts of me that I don't like right now, or maybe I didn't like a couple of years ago. And so how can I become better at those things as well? How can I use what I learned in sports for myself?

I think that's beautiful.

How can I be a better human, a better friend, a better partner? All these different things. A better daughter, you know, it's like, and how can you show up for yourself first at this season? So I think it's really beautiful. I think it's inspiring. And I hope a lot of people get value from your lessons.

Thank you.

And I just think, again, this is a masterclass that you've shared here on the School of Greatness. So I'm grateful and I acknowledge you. For opening up and for being real and authentic and showing us a little bit more behind the way you think, because I think a lot of people, it will help them understand their own life by understanding yours. So, so, yeah. And hopefully we get you back on in a few years and you can give us more lessons about healing and therapy and all the things you're learning.

Yeah, I love yapping.

Perfect. Just like your dad, right?

Yeah, exactly. But I'm like introverted. I know, but I like it.

You like it?

Like a shy yapper.

I like it. I like a shy yapper. Hashtag shy yapping. Final question, Chloe. What is your definition of greatness?

My definition of greatness? Me, myself, and I. So funny. Me, myself, and I. I think, yeah, I'm great. I bet I deserve it, you know? And I think We all do. Yeah, I think there's no greater feeling than accomplishing everything you've wanted and more. But then it's funny because I want more than that too, you know. There's so many other things I want to be great at. So I feel like definition of greatness to me today is gonna shift, and I'm gonna be achieving like the best version of myself, you know, in like whatever journey I decide to go on next. But I'm pretty good, right? I'm going to sit in my greatness for a couple, maybe a little bit more, and then I'll think about the next definition.

I love it.

But yeah, everyone's great. You're great.

Yeah.

Awesome.

Chloe, thank you so much for being here. Appreciate it.
