Nikki Stone
OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST AERIAL SKIING, MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER & PEAK PERFORMANCE EXPERT
Motto
Life is like my sport of aerial skiing. If you don’t hit the jump, you likely won’t encounter any great adversities. But you also won’t experience what it feels like to soar above the crowds.
Biography
At the Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan, Nikki Stone became America's first-ever Olympic Champion in the sport of inverted aerial skiing. What made this performance so unbelievable, was the fact that less than two years earlier, a chronic spinal injury prevented her from standing, much less walking or skiing off a 12-foot tall snow jump that launches aerialists 50 feet into the air.
In addition to her skiing endeavors, Nikki is also a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Union College in New York and a 4.0 Suma Cum Laude graduate of the University of Utah in the field of Sports Psychology. Her aerial retirement is less than restful as she works as a personal & professional development coach, trains other Olympic athletes in speaking skills, hosts group skiing adventures, sits on 5 different sports and philanthropic Committees, and spends time writing her highly anticipated book, "When Turtles Fly".
Nikki's goal is to inspire her audiences to achieve their maximum potential. Nikki feels that the best part of her job is having someone come up to her after a speech and say that they want to change their life for the better because of something she said. She wants to encourage all of her audience members to make this change and reach whatever their goals may be. Nikki would like to present even more speeches in a year in order to accomplish this objective.
Nikki's main passion is devoting time to her favorite charities: Breast Cancer Research, Right To Play, and Make a Wish. Stone now travels around the world working as a sought-after inspirational speaker, sharing her secrets to success. She encourages and inspires her audiences to "Spread their wings."
