In pro-snowboarding, we were taught self-confidence,
visualization and a strong belief in our abilities. The emotions
that come with going through a rough time are the opposite of
everything we’re taught. When we hit rock bottom, we lose touch
with that confidence, and we have to refocus, relearn and
rebuild.
Ex pro-snowboarder Keir Dillon understands this
journey a lot more than most. After suffering his fair share of
ass-kickings, he knows what coming up from rock bottom looks
like.
What were the early stages of his career like? How did
riding go from something fun to do to an incredible career? How did
he bounce back after the brutal ass-kickings life gave him?
In this episode, it’s my honor and privilege to sit down with one of the greats, Keir Dillon. He talks about his journey, from becoming a worldwide sensation, to losing everything and rebuilding to where he is now.
