Episode #133: From A Broken Leg To Back On Skis In 4 Months (feat. Pro Skier Molly Armanino)

July 7, 2026

Podcast Shownotes

On this episode, professional skier Molly Armenino joins me to talk about coming back from a broken leg and losing a toe to frostbite, and the mindset that got her through both.

Molly has faced more season-ending injuries than most skiers will in a lifetime, and every time she's found a way back. We get into how she refused to let injury define her identity, why she started weight-bearing early to fight muscle atrophy, and how she eased back into the boot without rushing it. We also dig into why "gym strong" doesn't always mean "ski strong," and what actually transfers to the hill.

We Talk About:

✅ How to protect your identity and mindset after a major injury

✅ Getting back in the boot and clicking in without fear

✅ Why early weight-bearing beats weeks of atrophy

✅ Training that actually transfers to skiing, not just the gym

The body is capable of far more than we give it credit for, and Molly's comeback is proof.
