“[I made my dreams a reality] by following my heart. I can't think of another reason why it happened… Especially with skiing, I knew from a very young age I was going to be skiing was going to be my life. And I was able to keep that I didn't deviate from that and the rest falls in place if you've got a good anchor.” - Tom Day
