Hi Lindsey,

I am working on a sport psychology project for which I have to interview athletes in my sport about mental fitness. I have several questions:

1. What, for you, are the key mental aspects of ski jumping?

2. Why are these mental aspects of the sport important?

3. To what extent does your level of mental fitness effect your performance?

If you could answer in short any one, or all, of these questions, I would appreciate it very much.

Nice to hear you articulate your bone marrow thoughts, and what it feels like to go back to “just being an athlete.” It is a big paradigm shift for you and I guess I never really thought about that part. Enjoy the transition! Love you…

Hey Her! Crazy to see on paper how much you’ve dominated the sport. Good to see you’re still jumping. Hope all is well! – TBone

Hello – I sent and email to Corby Fisher and it bounced (email is full?). I am President of WomenCAN Int’l (gender equity in Olympic Canoeing – the last summer Olympic sport which does not have gender equity). I would like to speak with Lindsay or someone else involved in the ski jumping effort over the years (incl the lawsuit). Thank you for your help. And CONGRATULATIONS!!

I’m a supporter of Coline Mattel, but I hope a good competition and good fight for all in Oslo. I hope the best of you will win the medals. Congratulation by advance to give part of you own body for others: sportpeople have big heart.

[...] In 2009, the IOC claimed that there were not enough “qualified” women to merit inclusion of the sport in the 2010 Vancouver Games. At the time, 83 women from 14 nations competed at the top level, including Lindsey Van, who held the world title and North American distance record. [...]
