Olympic Champion Lindsey Vonn Revealed Her Peculiar Pre-Race Ritual “To Produce a Natural Boost of Testosterone” in Her Memoir

Lindsey Vonn is regarded as an ace alpine skier, and often, the greatest Alpine Skier in the world. Chiefly, her records and performances are proof of her spectacular journey. In addition, the skier turned into an author post-retirement. Lindsey Vonn released her memoir “Rise: My Story” in January 2022.

The memoir is well-received by the readers and has got good reviews. Significantly, her memoir is about her rise as the greatest skier as its name suggests.

Is that why athlete spits?

Lindsey Vonn strictly kept her memoir restricted to her professional life. From skiing with her father, snuggling in a backpack, to becoming the Olympian, she guided the readers through her skiing journey.

Other than this, she explained what she used to do before her racing career. She said, “Here she effectively captures what happens in competition before racing down a hill at 80 mph: the nerves, the rituals, the sense of urgency and excitement at the start, the spitting. I spit a lot”.

Vonn further added, “That’s the trigger for your body to produce a natural boost of testosterone; it’s why a lot of athletes spit.”

The wisdom that Lindsey Vonn wants to pass to children

Vonn credited her success very much to her father. He was the one who passed the skiing skills to her. Moreover, she was just two and a half years old when he put her on the skis for the first time. At the age of nine, she told her father about the dream of participating in the 2002 Olympics.

Vonn said, “whenever somebody wants to know if I have any wisdom to pass along for their children,” she advises them to focus on the “big picture.” The same advice that her father gave her, helping her in her journey.
