The Seder-Skier Podcast

Matt Liebsch is the part-owner of Pioneer Midwest and Brian Gregg is a financial advisor. ....oh yeah, and they're both former World Cup skiers..... Most importantly: they're also DADS. If you've ever ski-raced a major marathon in North America, you probably saw their names at the top of the results list...you know they can still bring it on the course. Today on the show, we look at how these two elite-athletes juggle family, fatherhood and fitness at various stages of a career — from World Cup dreaming to master-blaster screaming. This is a good one, people.... you won't want to miss it! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/support

We discuss the importance of the afternoon mocha and some drama we've encountered trying to find it at local gas stations over the last winter.... Plus....is 'fun' a good compass/motivation for athletes? Or is it a symptom of a deeper problem. And...my wife has seen "Hoosiers" for the first time.....how does that connect to skiing? Take a listen and maybe you'll find out.... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/support

The future of U.S. Skiing has been the focus of the podcast all month....and today we bring you our interview with the queen of that convo: 18-year-old Sammy Smith. The multi-sport superstar chats about...well, everything — how she started in the sport, how she balances soccer and skiing, her plans and goals for next year and beyond and whether or not she feels any pressure to take the baton from Kikkan and Jessie. Thanks for hopping on the show, Sammy! ***Interview starts at 15 min. Sorry for the two minutes of silence!

Part 3 of our interview series with the U.S. Ski Team's young stars continues with Will Koch! Join us to hear about CU's epic comeback at NCAA nationals, Will's relationship with his dad and his goals for next year. It was a pleasure to chat with this young man, and his passion for the sport comes out in all of his answers. Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/support

Our interviews with rising stars on the U.S. Cross-Country Ski Team continues with another 22-year-old: Johnny Steel Hagenbuch. An NCAA champion this year at Dartmouth, the Sun Valley-raised skate ski star also notched an impressive 13th-place finish in the 10k freestyle at the Ostersund World Cup. Hagenbuch closed the season winning the 40k mass start at the Super Tour Finals in Duluth. We're so glad to have Hagenbuch join the show!

We grade the U.S. Ski Team on the first two weeks of the World Cup, plus talk about the state of Klaebo, get interrupted by crying babies, and discuss the true solution to elevating the ski game in our country. Plus...Ski or Die is out on the SC Play site, and we've watched all three episodes...they're awesome!

We tested out the studio by interviewing Tom Sederquist after his unofficial world record marathon for a human without a colon (we plan on getting as much clickbait mileage from that as possible).....and his Lake Effect teammate Scott Behling!

The SederSkier Podcast is back and we dive right into the biggest stories of the summer: is Sophia Laukli a world-class runner? Who is wrong in the Norwegian national team/Klaebo drama ...plus, we get a few preposterous statement tournament nominees.... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/support

The pitch was: 'hey, I wonder what the old Denver Nuggets play-by-play was thinking from the Colorado Rockies booth when his old team won their first NBA title?' Our conversation went way beyond that, however, and for good reason. Jerry Schemmel has done a lot. In addition to broadcasting, he's also biked across America a few times (won the RAAM two-person event in 2015), written a book, survived a plane crash, and earned a law degree. If you like hearing from successful people who live with intentionality, you'll appreciate this man's Nuggets of wisdom. Check out the Vail Daily for a profile I wrote on Jerry. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/support

We split things up — first half is mostly running and the second is Nordic skiing — in this bonus double-length episode of the best cross-country ski podcast ... English-speaking ... on this side of the Atlantic. .... First, Sederquist talks about what makes the Mountain Games in Vail so special, why high school should go back to one class (maybe two), and the aspect of Jakob Ingebrigtsen's greatness no one is mentioning. Then, we analyze Alayna Sonneyn's interview with David Norris regarding national team selection criteria. Stick around for the end — we've also received nominations for the 2024 preposterous statement tournament, and they're excellent. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/support

Well, last week's show was all nonsense celebration and preposterousness, but on this edition of the SederSkier Podcast we get into the meat of the matter. First, we honor the life of NSIC legend Paul Yak, who passed away last week - a tremendous runner we lost far too soon. Then, it's right into the ins and outs of all things hot, controversial XC skiing takes....and there's serious controversy. - What's wrong with ski journalists and the difference between being in PR and writing hard news pieces..... - A nice climate-change rant... - What do we think of the FIS Games? - The Russians are banned again - but the IOC doesn't agree with FIS....why? And, how is the Russian online press covering this? - Why do we think Klaebo was thrilled about the Norwegian team cutting its budget - We close with some EPIC controversy hidden deep within the FIS congress committee reports --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seder-skier/support
