Austrian World Cup racer Marco Schwarz joins The Next Turn this week as he recovers from a crash in January. Prior to the injury, Schwarz had reached the podium in four out of the first eight World Cup races this year and was leading in the Overall at the time. He is now three months post op, and he remains focused on the future, using his time to prepare for the next season, both physically and mentally. As a four event skier, he discusses the differences in cues between disciplines and the adjustments he made this season in order to add speed events to his already packed schedule. Schwarz, who joined the Austrian team when he was just 18, talks about the mentors who guided him along the way and speaks to the importance of having confidence, managing pressure, and "finding the flow”. As always, we share our “SWIX Thoughts of the Day.”
