As the U.S. prepares for the 2034 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Matt shares how his team designed a new National Development Group program to prepare future Olympians — and why partnering with PSIA-AASI was a game-changer. AJ and Elle discuss what it was like to work with elite freestyle athletes, how fundamental skiing skills translate to world-class performance, and what both groups learned from blending coaching philosophies. Together, they reveal how this project is helping athletes — and coaches — become better skiers, better teachers, and better teammates.","meta_description":"In this episode of First Chair, host George Thomas sits down with Matt Gnoza, Freestyle Sport Director at U.S. Ski & Snowboard, and PSIA-AASI National Tea…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2060,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/first-chair-psia-aasi-podcast-325068/episodes/building-better-skiers-psia-aasi-x-u-s-ski-snowboard-collaboration/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/first-chair-psia-aasi-podcast-325068/building-better-skiers-psia-aasi-x-u-s-ski-snowboard-collaboration.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
