nick page

Nick Page is defined by ambition and fearlessness. At 19, he placed 5th at the Beijing Olympics, becoming the youngest U.S. male mogul skier to final in over a decade. A U.S. National Champion, three-time World Championship competitor, and World Cup champion, he ended the longest drought in U.S. men’s moguls history—defeating two Olympic gold medalists along the way.

Now ranked 3rd in World Cup standings, Nick is all-in on training for Milano Cortina 2026. His drive, resilience, and relentless pursuit of excellence make him one of skiing’s most exciting stars. This month, he’s ready to help you find that same fire within yourself.

“I’m still hungry and chasing bigger goals and ambitions."

 FAQs

  • 100 athletes join a private, moderated groupchat with their Olympic cohort leader. Every week, the Olympian shares behind-the-scenes video clips: with encouragement, inspiration, stories, and advice. Athletes log their workouts, complete special wellness challenges, and climb the leaderboard for the chance to win an in-person “Train With Me” trip. The program also kicks off with a 30-minute live Q&A, and includes additional interactive elements like “Athlete of the Day” shoutouts and paired encouragement challenges. All selected participants receive a Certificate of Achievement for this honor.

  • We welcome athletes under 22 from anywhere in the U.S. and in any sport. Although each Olympic cohort leader specializes in a certain sport, their lessons on grit, motivation, and resilience are widely applicable to athletes across disciplines. All you need is to be excited and ready to train and commit for one month.

    If you are under 13, you will need parent/guardian permission and help to sign up for your account on the group messaging platform.

  • You are welcome to submit applications for both featured Olympians in the month.

  • Nope! The program is designed so you can train with the resources you have and your existing setup—whether that’s a full gym, a track, or your living room. We award points for engagement and effort!

  • Yes! We’ll have a live kickoff Q&A where you can ask anything on your mind, and you can also respond to their videos in the groupchat. You might even get a personal shoutout in a video!

  • We award points for logging consistent workouts, training, and movement, completing wellness challenges, staying engaged in the group, and supporting other cohort members. Every effort counts!

  • At the end of the month, the top athlete on the leaderboard wins a flight (for you and a guardian) to meet your featured Olympian in person for a one-hour training and mentorship session.

Amy competed in the USA Diving circuit before representing Harvard at the NCAA Championships; Taylor previously founded a global nonprofit reaching over 70K and has worked at the United Nations. Together, we’re lifelong believers in the power of sport to inspire boldness, discipline, and fuel big dreams.
