#003 - Phil Marquis: The journey to the 2018 Olympics with no ACL, a crazy Olympic qualifying story, transition to coaching and much more…
***
On today’s show I sit down with Phil Marquis, he is a former member of the Canadian National Freestyle Ski Team in the sport of Moguls from Quebec City. He is a decorated athlete who has competed at two Olympics, multiple world championships, over 90 world cup events and multiple medals along the way. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like trying to qualify for an Olympics and all the stressful moments that go into it, this is the episode for you. We also discuss his journey to the 2018 Olympic Games having ruptured his ACL only one month prior, and how Phil has transitioned to now coaching the next generation of athletes. Phil is one of the most passionate guys I’ve met in the sport and it was a pleasure chatting to him. You can find Phil on Instagram at @philmarquis. Just a piece of housekeeping for context, this episode was actually recorded in November of last year. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, let’s do it!
