Ed Drake is a former Olympic and World Cup downhill racer. Although standing in the start gate at the top of the mountain is what we all see. What other skills and lessons has Ed learned from racing? #BecauseICan (There is the odd rude word in this episode!)
In this episode Paul and Tim welcome former Olympic skier and Sandstone ambassador Ed Drake on to the show. Downhill ski racing is a minority sport in the UK. As a result Ed had to develop skills in a number of key areas in order to get himself to the start line of the 2010 Olympic Games. Since retiring from international competition many of those skills now stand him in good stead for a career as a commentator and coach.
