Manage episode 373586382 series 3330758
In a preview to episode 11, Australian-born snowboarding superstar Scotty James reflects on life as a child prodigy.
Having been to his first Olympics at 15 years of age, James knows what external pressure can do to someone who may not be mature enough to handle it.
The two-time Olympic medallist shares his experiences with the joys of competing on the international stage, while subsequently crashing out when expected to win at such an early age. Through tears, dejection and external noise, James offers an insight into breaking through those barriers to come out more experienced and prepared for the rigours of elite sport.
