Eric Balken on Saving Glen Canyon

The Athletic Stance was founded in 2018 on the idea of bringing skier’s and athletes an in-depth perspective into the world of professional skiing and eventually all areas professional athletics. 

Being a former professional skier, I wondered if there were trends and patterns that lead skier’s to rise to the top. I had heard from sport psychologists, in my readings and from others the overarching fundamentals that brought athletes to the top but I wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth.

I wanted to get to know each athlete individually to show how there are many different paths to get to success, I wanted to show others what a skier’s perspective is and what it means. In the process, I’ve discovered a ton about myself and about the people who have shaped my skiing career and my life. 

I’ve been able to talk to my idols and share with people like you the in-depth perspectives of some of the most interesting and amazing skier’s and athletes on the planet. It’s been an honor to bring you these perspectives and I will continue to bring you the best interviews with the best skiers and athletes I possibly can.
