BODE MILLERMy team has been very unreceptive about the fact that I consistently show them that I train slightly differently than they do, that I consistently show them that I am in better shape for ski racing than anyone else on the team.
BODE MILLERWe should tell our kids to just have fun, participate and not get bent on winning or losing.
BODE MILLERMy grandfather was very into horse racing, and I found some of his old journals and got into it from there. It has a lot of parallels to skiing. It’s a fun lifestyle, being around the racetrack.
BODE MILLERThe way I judge myself is not on how many World Cups I can win in a row.
BODE MILLERThat’s hard to do when there are a million other people shouting as loud as they can.
BODE MILLERI simply think things through, and I look at problems.
BODE MILLERThe only mental games in ski racing is the mental game against yourself. Is the whole goal of life preserving your life as long as you can?
BODE MILLEROnce the season starts for me, there isn’t a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies.

BODE MILLERJoin karma and nature and the effect you have on your world. Join your philosophy. Join something bigger than you. Join what you believe.
BODE MILLERI would say most of my style is driven by functionality and comfort.
