IF YOU FAIL - FALL FORWARD
Failure will always bring you closer to yourself and to your next goal  I was only 16, almost 17 years young when I participated at my second Swiss Telemark Championship and I will never forget that day. The story I am about to tell you is about failure and shame. Until today, I still handle failure the same way as I did as a teenager and I think that is a good thing. Listen and find out why.

I am nervous, like hell. But I get down. And in the evening I write into my diary: many people don't do Telemark because they are ashamed to do it. Because it looks different and others might laugh.
