The way I judge myself is not on how many World Cups I can win in a row.
Bode Miller
Image
Sometimes I'm disciplined, but I like to be a total slacker, too. I party hard, but I train hard.

Image
At this point in my career, I have the privilege of choosing my partners. In the beginning, you more or less take what comes in the door - or what matches up with your brand. But you're always subject to what's available, especially in the ski world where there are not infinite choices, especially on the fashion side.

Once the season starts for me, there isn't a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies.
Bode Miller
Image
Despite all the pressure and the caliber of accomplishment, I still can honestly say that it's not all about winning.
Bode Miller

When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.

I couldn't be happier with where my life's at right now. I have great partners, I have great stimulating relationships on the business side of things, I've been really busy and productive.

We should tell our kids to just have fun, participate and not get bent on winning or losing. But every coach, when they say that, they say it tongue in cheek, 'Don't worry about winning': If you win I'll get you ice cream, but if you lose I'm going to pout in the car.

There's so many guys skiing so fast right now that you really have to be willing to take a lot of risks if you want to give yourself a chance to win. I'm prepared to do it it's just a matter of if I can make it work.

I went through a period at boarding school when my coaches wanted me to switch to snowboarding because they thought I was no good at skiing. I was too skinny. I had terrible technique. They were saying I should be a snowboarder, and luckily, I resisted.

I would say most of my style is driven by functionality and comfort.

I like to keep my private life private for the most part.

You feel the Olympics and you get chills and nervous and a little scared. You go through the emotional roller coaster at what it's like to compete at the Olympic level and you let that run through your whole body.
Bode Miller
Image
I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.
Bode Miller
Image
It's nice, being brought up with no money at all. It's just not how I measure success, so that makes it a bunch easier.
Bode Miller
Image
It is not that I don't recognize the danger in ski racing, but that I don't fear the consequences.
Bode Miller
Image
One of the really important things about the Olympics is, to enjoy yourself, you have to accept that it's different and feed off the enthusiasm of everyone and the inspiration and hopefully that will elevate your performance.

I had crashes when I was small and Gumby-like that would have killed me now. I would just fly off jumps and go 40 or 50 meters when I was 6 years old - break skis, smash my goggles and get a bloody nose and go crawl inside for a little while and then come back out and ski more in the afternoon.

I tried retiring a couple of times and it just didn't really stick so, but at some point enough things conspire together and it does stick.

I still love racing and the challenge of it, but at some point, you get to a place where you're perfectly happy moving on and doing other stuff.
