Summary:
On this episode of The We Are All Awesome Show, powered by WiddyUP, we sit down with rising ski star Lena Paduska to talk about her incredible journey from small-town roots to the national ski stage, and now, to the collegiate circuit. Lena opens up about the pressures and possibilities of the NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) landscape, her mental preparation, and how being fearless in trying new things paved her way to success.
Whether you're a student-athlete, parent, or fan of stories fueled by grit and growth, Lena's mindset is one to remember. From biking and trail running in the summer to racing down icy slopes in winter, Lena shares her approach to building resilience, independence, and joy in the face of pressure, and why companies should absolutely remember her name.
