I totally agree with him, save the jocks for sports like baseball and football, skiing does not need them.
I started skiing to get away from the pressures of highschool, my parents, and society in general. It was an opportunity to smoke weed, go off big jumps, express myself, and meet chill people.
I had no coaches or dads telling me how I should be skiing, and that way I could develop my own unique style and perspective on the sport, and I think that should be the way for everyone to keep our shit fresh.
Once things get so structured and jock like, its just going to be a big competition and diversity and unique styles will be limited.
But I guess if your a nerd and like training, lifting weights and impressing your type A dad, then hit the gym and get that fuckin gold medal!
