Alex Deibold is a Professional Snowboarder, Husband, Father, Olympic Bronze Medalist, and avid golfer. His story is full of highs and lows, but one constant: Snowboarding. With his parents' support Alex started on a board at an early age. He found success quickly once he started competing. He attended the Stratton Mountain School to focus on snowboarding (and a little school) before being selected to the U.S. National Team. He has competed in the Olympics twice, winning the Bronze Medal in Snowboard Cross at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Days leading up to the 2022 Winter Olympics, Alex suffered a crash landing him in a medically induced coma. Since then, he and his wife have welcomed a beautiful baby girl into their world.   Alex and I talk about all things snowboarding, his road to the Olympics, the highs and lows of competition, mental health, service and transition, parenting, and a little golf.

Transition from service is full of ups and downs, big dreams and massive failures. You are leaving a community where when you failed others were around to pick up the pieces. Mission first, people always. The real world is not like that. This week I am joined by Kevin Deckel. Kevin currently is the Director of Sales for Miura Golf. But it has been a long and interesting road to get him to where he is today. His journey includes working at In-and-Out, playing water polo in college, serving in 2nd Ranger Battalion, deploying to Afghanistan, and working outside service at one of the most popular muni's in the country. I hope everyone takes a little something from this one because failure happens to us all. It is what you learn from it that makes you the person you are today. Enjoy!
