Episode 6 - Sport Life Balance with Cross-Country Skier Julia Kern
This week I had the pleasure of catching up with US Cross-Country Skier, Olympian, and World Championship medalist, Julia Kern. During the episode we reflect on her battle with illness this past winter, her prioritization of a healthy sport - life balance and why it's so important to her. We also talk about her approach to a sprint race, what she focuses on throughout the competition day, and she dissects her World Championship Bronze where ski skied the anchor leg in the team sprint.
If you’d like to try to keep up with Julia and follow along on her many adventures I’d recommend checking out her website, juliakernski.com, and following her on instagram @juliakernski.
