Alisa Camplin Broke BOTH Ankles 6 Weeks Before the Olympics… Then Won GOLD

Описание: Olympic gold medallist Alisa Camplin (Salt Lake City 2002) joins The Howie Games for one of the most incredible Australian Olympic stories you’ll hear, from teaching herself to ski to becoming an Olympic aerial skiing champion, and now stepping into one of sport’s most prestigious leadership roles as Chef de Mission for the Australian Olympic Team.

Alisa opens up about the moment she realised the Olympics “mattered,” the brutal reality of elite sport, and how a chance encounter at a ski show helped spark a bold plan: eight years to the Olympics despite barely having skied. She details the grind of funding the dream (yes, multiple jobs), the terrifying early crashes, and the injury list that proves just how punishing aerial skiing can be.

Then it gets even wilder: Alisa reveals she broke both ankles six weeks before the Olympics and leaned on sports psychology, visualisation, routines, and mindset training to pull off the impossible. The result? A gold medal moment that still gives her goosebumps including the surreal instant she saw “Olympic Champion” flash on the stadium screen.

This is a masterclass in mental toughness, resilience, elite performance, and leadership and a powerful insight into what it takes to chase big dreams, survive setbacks, and help others do the same.
