Manage episode 401607061 series 2895797
At just 22 years old, Nico Porteous is one of New Zealand's most accomplished athletes.

Nico's accolades speak volumes, but beyond the medals there’s a depth of character and wisdom that belies his age. Nico joins Jane to discuss his journey to global success, how he navigates intense performance pressure and the values shaping his life beyond the slopes.
