Speaker 2: Adam Hall is one of New Zealand's greatest Winter Paralympians,

4
00:00:16,387 --> 00:00:20,547
Speaker 2: a two time Paralympic champion in twenty ten and twenty eighteen,

5
00:00:21,027 --> 00:00:24,347
Speaker 2: a five time Paralympic medalist, and now on the verge

6
00:00:24,427 --> 00:00:28,067
Speaker 2: of history. This month in Italy, Adam Hall will become

7
00:00:28,107 --> 00:00:32,147
Speaker 2: the first key we to compete at six Winter Paralympic Games,

8
00:00:32,547 --> 00:00:34,787
Speaker 2: a journey that began as an eighteen year old in

9
00:00:34,907 --> 00:00:38,507
Speaker 2: Tono back in two thousand and six and comes full

10
00:00:38,547 --> 00:00:41,947
Speaker 2: circle at Milano Cortina in twenty twenty six, more than

11
00:00:41,987 --> 00:00:45,027
Speaker 2: two decades on from his debut, still right in the

12
00:00:45,067 --> 00:00:47,147
Speaker 2: mix on the world stage, driven by the same love

13
00:00:47,187 --> 00:00:50,507
Speaker 2: of skiing, but with the experience and perspective of a

14
00:00:50,587 --> 00:00:53,907
Speaker 2: veteran who has literally seen it all. As he prepares

15
00:00:53,907 --> 00:00:57,627
Speaker 2: for what could be his final Paralympics, Adam Hall is

16
00:00:57,667 --> 00:00:59,987
Speaker 2: with us great to get the chance to chat to you, Adam.

17
00:00:59,987 --> 00:01:04,987
Speaker 2: A sixth Paralympic game. Games that is incredibly rare company

18
00:01:05,027 --> 00:01:07,787
Speaker 2: you put yourself in. Have you thought about what that

19
00:01:07,867 --> 00:01:11,787
Speaker 2: milestone means or all that come later when you do

20
00:01:11,867 --> 00:01:12,947
Speaker 2: finally call it a day.

21
00:01:13,747 --> 00:01:16,147
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think I think, as you say, Jason,

22
00:01:16,587 --> 00:01:19,427
Speaker 3: thanks for having me on again. And I think, you know,

23
00:01:19,467 --> 00:01:22,467
Speaker 3: it's something that you probably reflect on in time. It's

24
00:01:22,507 --> 00:01:26,507
Speaker 3: not something that you really reflect on why you're in it, though.

25
00:01:26,507 --> 00:01:29,507
Speaker 3: I would say, you know, when I first started out,

26
00:01:29,747 --> 00:01:32,907
Speaker 3: you know, twenty plus years ago, to think that I

27
00:01:32,947 --> 00:01:37,187
Speaker 3: would still be here, you probably wouldn't think so. So yeah,

28
00:01:37,307 --> 00:01:41,947
Speaker 3: I think to still be here and still be really competitive,

29
00:01:41,987 --> 00:01:44,267
Speaker 3: and to still be on World Cup podiums, et cetera,

30
00:01:45,187 --> 00:01:48,987
Speaker 3: you know, it's quite remarkable. And to not just be participating,

31
00:01:49,027 --> 00:01:52,387
Speaker 3: but to be competing for medals is, you know, something

32
00:01:52,427 --> 00:01:54,027
Speaker 3: that I that I'm pretty proud of.

33
00:01:54,467 --> 00:01:57,307
Speaker 2: When you think back to your debut and to Reno

34
00:01:57,387 --> 00:02:00,867
Speaker 2: two thousand and six as a teenager, how different are

35
00:02:00,867 --> 00:02:03,867
Speaker 2: you as an athlete and a person heading into your

36
00:02:03,947 --> 00:02:05,707
Speaker 2: sixth Games.

37
00:02:06,107 --> 00:02:08,867
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I was pretty green going into Terena.

38
00:02:08,907 --> 00:02:11,667
Speaker 3: I remember in the downhill actually before I even got

39
00:02:11,667 --> 00:02:14,227
Speaker 3: to the first gate. Downhill was the fastest event that

40
00:02:14,267 --> 00:02:16,427
Speaker 3: we have, where you have speeds up to you know,

41
00:02:16,467 --> 00:02:18,827
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifteen plus kilometers an hour. And I

42
00:02:18,867 --> 00:02:21,347
Speaker 3: got to the first gate and I was thinking to myself,

43
00:02:21,387 --> 00:02:25,347
Speaker 3: what on Earth am I doing? You know, just getting

44
00:02:25,387 --> 00:02:28,107
Speaker 3: to these speeds pretty green? When you first started out,

45
00:02:28,147 --> 00:02:30,267
Speaker 3: it was something that you kind of was a must

46
00:02:30,267 --> 00:02:32,787
Speaker 3: that you had to be doing every single event, So

47
00:02:33,307 --> 00:02:35,667
Speaker 3: you know, to be going into a speed event pretty green,

48
00:02:35,707 --> 00:02:38,107
Speaker 3: getting to the first gate, thinking wild on Earth am

49
00:02:38,107 --> 00:02:40,387
Speaker 3: I doing? And then spend a bit of time not

50
00:02:40,507 --> 00:02:44,387
Speaker 3: doing speed and you know, starting to specialize a little

51
00:02:44,387 --> 00:02:46,587
Speaker 3: bit more and just get years of training and the

52
00:02:46,627 --> 00:02:49,427
Speaker 3: mileage and everything, and yeah, I think now you just

53
00:02:49,507 --> 00:02:53,147
Speaker 3: kind of look back at the journey and you learn,

54
00:02:53,347 --> 00:02:56,707
Speaker 3: you learn along the way, and it does become something

55
00:02:56,747 --> 00:03:00,027
Speaker 3: that you reflect on is the journey, and you just yeah, naturally,

56
00:03:00,627 --> 00:03:03,587
Speaker 3: I guess mature as an athletes and as a person

57
00:03:03,627 --> 00:03:07,467
Speaker 3: as well. You know, skaring and having that I guess

58
00:03:07,787 --> 00:03:12,187
Speaker 3: honor and privilege of representing country for twenty plus years

59
00:03:12,187 --> 00:03:15,787
Speaker 3: from a really early age is something that builds character,

60
00:03:15,907 --> 00:03:21,707
Speaker 3: builds life skills. You make lifelong friendships all over the world,

61
00:03:22,027 --> 00:03:25,507
Speaker 3: which is pretty incredible. So it's it truly has you know,

62
00:03:25,587 --> 00:03:28,027
Speaker 3: helped build me into the person that I am today,

63
00:03:28,147 --> 00:03:30,627
Speaker 3: both you know, on snow and off snow.

64
00:03:31,307 --> 00:03:35,107
Speaker 2: What has been the key to staying competitive all this time.

65
00:03:36,947 --> 00:03:39,387
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think it's just that strive to

66
00:03:39,907 --> 00:03:43,707
Speaker 3: want to continue to be the best and try and

67
00:03:44,387 --> 00:03:46,707
Speaker 3: you know, find anything it is that you do to

68
00:03:47,787 --> 00:03:49,467
Speaker 3: to not just do it to do it, but to

69
00:03:49,547 --> 00:03:51,947
Speaker 3: try and accel at it the best that you can.

70
00:03:52,067 --> 00:03:54,427
Speaker 3: And you know, I came through at a time where

71
00:03:54,747 --> 00:03:57,547
Speaker 3: you know, our winter program and power and from the

72
00:03:57,587 --> 00:04:01,187
Speaker 3: Paralympic perspective has always been really competitive with brought back

73
00:04:01,267 --> 00:04:05,107
Speaker 3: metals from every single Winter Paralympic Games except for my

74
00:04:05,227 --> 00:04:08,747
Speaker 3: first one in two thousand and six. So for me,

75
00:04:09,307 --> 00:04:11,307
Speaker 3: being a bit of an older soul, has been a

76
00:04:11,347 --> 00:04:14,027
Speaker 3: little bit about you know, continuing on that legacy as

77
00:04:14,067 --> 00:04:17,467
Speaker 3: well and doing whatever I can in my will power

78
00:04:17,507 --> 00:04:19,987
Speaker 3: to be able to continue that on, to not just

79
00:04:20,707 --> 00:04:24,107
Speaker 3: acknowledge the hard work and the results that I've personally

80
00:04:24,147 --> 00:04:27,307
Speaker 3: been able to do, but also you know, highlight those

81
00:04:27,387 --> 00:04:30,827
Speaker 3: that have been before me and that have you know,

82
00:04:30,947 --> 00:04:35,107
Speaker 3: been successful and brought back medals for New Zealand you

83
00:04:35,147 --> 00:04:37,947
Speaker 3: know previous Winter Winter Games as well, which is pretty

84
00:04:37,947 --> 00:04:40,107
Speaker 3: exciting as we look into some of the coverage where

85
00:04:40,147 --> 00:04:44,147
Speaker 3: we're going to have some previous successful Winter parallemlic athletes

86
00:04:44,187 --> 00:04:47,227
Speaker 3: that are going to be helping broadcast, which is going

87
00:04:47,267 --> 00:04:47,867
Speaker 3: to be pretty cool.

88
00:04:47,947 --> 00:04:51,787
Speaker 2: Yeah, looking forward to that very much. After everything you've achieved,

89
00:04:52,427 --> 00:04:55,587
Speaker 2: what still drives you to put in the work every day?

90
00:04:57,107 --> 00:05:00,747
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably just comes back to that tireing upbringing maybe

91
00:05:00,827 --> 00:05:03,747
Speaker 3: and just understanding and knowing what a bit of hard

92
00:05:03,787 --> 00:05:07,747
Speaker 3: work is. And that's pretty much what it is, right is.

93
00:05:08,427 --> 00:05:10,667
Speaker 3: You know, don't be afraid to put in a bit

94
00:05:10,667 --> 00:05:13,307
Speaker 3: of hard work. Don't be afraid to have a dream

95
00:05:13,347 --> 00:05:15,347
Speaker 3: and a goal. And you know, if you put in

96
00:05:15,387 --> 00:05:18,467
Speaker 3: a bit of hard mahi, you can really surprise yourself.

97
00:05:18,507 --> 00:05:21,387
Speaker 3: And you know, when you work so hard towards something

98
00:05:22,147 --> 00:05:24,267
Speaker 3: and when you start to reap the rewards and it's

99
00:05:24,667 --> 00:05:27,947
Speaker 3: planned and simple, it's just you know, not everybody wants

100
00:05:27,987 --> 00:05:31,627
Speaker 3: to do that. A lot of you know, athletes or

101
00:05:31,627 --> 00:05:35,427
Speaker 3: people in general. There's a lot of everyone wanting to

102
00:05:35,427 --> 00:05:37,987
Speaker 3: get to the top without putting in the work or

103
00:05:38,027 --> 00:05:40,787
Speaker 3: without having to do the most and trying to get

104
00:05:40,787 --> 00:05:43,947
Speaker 3: there by doing the minimum amount. And I think, you know,

105
00:05:44,027 --> 00:05:47,707
Speaker 3: it's been rewarded not just from a results perspective, but

106
00:05:47,787 --> 00:05:52,227
Speaker 3: also from my body's perspective. And you know, still being

107
00:05:52,227 --> 00:05:55,267
Speaker 3: able to keep you know, reasonably fit, reasonably healthy, even

108
00:05:55,307 --> 00:05:57,707
Speaker 3: though along the way you have some kind of challenges

109
00:05:57,747 --> 00:06:00,227
Speaker 3: that you overcome, but you know, hey, that's just kind

110
00:06:00,227 --> 00:06:02,987
Speaker 3: of part of life, and we all have to overcome

111
00:06:03,347 --> 00:06:06,827
Speaker 3: certain challenges at certain times, and that again is just yeah,

112
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:07,747
Speaker 3: part of the journey.

113
00:06:08,187 --> 00:06:10,347
Speaker 2: I remember last time we spoke, it was was at

114
00:06:10,387 --> 00:06:12,907
Speaker 2: Emerson Brewery actually before the All Blacks test you popped in.

115
00:06:12,947 --> 00:06:14,347
Speaker 2: We had a great chat that done. I remember you

116
00:06:14,387 --> 00:06:17,387
Speaker 2: talked about the top two inches, which you know, I

117
00:06:17,387 --> 00:06:21,547
Speaker 2: think in all sports is really really relevant. How has

118
00:06:21,587 --> 00:06:24,267
Speaker 2: your mindset changed from the eighteen year old kid who

119
00:06:24,307 --> 00:06:26,227
Speaker 2: got to that first gate thought what the heck am

120
00:06:26,227 --> 00:06:30,027
Speaker 2: I doing here? To now? Are you calmer, more strategic?

121
00:06:31,667 --> 00:06:33,947
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean it's probably a bit a mixture of everything,

122
00:06:33,987 --> 00:06:36,147
Speaker 3: and you know, you maybe do try and throw in

123
00:06:36,227 --> 00:06:38,307
Speaker 3: a few mind games in there, and you'd try and

124
00:06:38,387 --> 00:06:42,227
Speaker 3: rely on you know, those years and years and campaigns

125
00:06:42,227 --> 00:06:46,387
Speaker 3: of experience and knowledge that you know some other competitors

126
00:06:46,427 --> 00:06:49,907
Speaker 3: don't don't quite have, you know, even if the first

127
00:06:49,987 --> 00:06:54,067
Speaker 3: or second campaigns. So yeah, trying to draw definitely on

128
00:06:54,147 --> 00:06:56,707
Speaker 3: those top two inches, and it's all about you know,

129
00:06:56,787 --> 00:07:00,107
Speaker 3: as athletes, I guess we're in unique positions where you

130
00:07:00,147 --> 00:07:02,667
Speaker 3: know the difference between what we have and perhaps what

131
00:07:03,227 --> 00:07:05,507
Speaker 3: others don't, is that we have the tools to be

132
00:07:05,547 --> 00:07:08,547
Speaker 3: able to deal with the pressures and to deal with

133
00:07:09,427 --> 00:07:12,507
Speaker 3: the expectations and to deal with what's in front of us.

134
00:07:12,547 --> 00:07:16,907
Speaker 3: And you know where that top two inches comes into places.

135
00:07:17,107 --> 00:07:19,587
Speaker 3: Just yeah, understanding that you know, at the end of

136
00:07:19,587 --> 00:07:23,147
Speaker 3: the day, it's just another it's just another competition. The

137
00:07:23,227 --> 00:07:26,867
Speaker 3: only difference is this is a chance once in a

138
00:07:26,907 --> 00:07:31,027
Speaker 3: four year cycle where a lot of the population, both

139
00:07:31,347 --> 00:07:33,747
Speaker 3: in our country and also around the world, get to

140
00:07:34,147 --> 00:07:36,467
Speaker 3: get to see and get a bit of exposure into

141
00:07:36,947 --> 00:07:39,107
Speaker 3: what it is that we actually do day in and

142
00:07:39,187 --> 00:07:41,667
Speaker 3: day out, which is pretty cool. But yeah, trying to

143
00:07:41,747 --> 00:07:45,827
Speaker 3: use that mindset as much as possible. A lot of yeah,

144
00:07:46,067 --> 00:07:50,147
Speaker 3: self talk, a lot of imagery, a lot of different

145
00:07:50,187 --> 00:07:52,347
Speaker 3: tools that we can use and that I use as

146
00:07:52,347 --> 00:07:57,627
Speaker 3: well to keep keep calm, keep focused, and keep keep

147
00:07:58,107 --> 00:08:01,387
Speaker 3: on what's important and what's coming up ahead. And I think,

148
00:08:01,947 --> 00:08:03,747
Speaker 3: you know, perspective is a good one as well. So

149
00:08:03,747 --> 00:08:07,987
Speaker 3: everybody has a different perspective on you know, competition and

150
00:08:08,107 --> 00:08:11,387
Speaker 3: life and so on, and so yeah, the perspective that

151
00:08:11,467 --> 00:08:14,267
Speaker 3: I have, I think is through my journey has brought

152
00:08:14,307 --> 00:08:17,667
Speaker 3: me to where I am today, and yeah, just understanding that,

153
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:21,587
Speaker 3: you know, hey, it's just another competition and we keep

154
00:08:21,707 --> 00:08:23,827
Speaker 3: to the keep to our processes, and we know if

155
00:08:23,827 --> 00:08:26,347
Speaker 3: we ski well, and we ski to how we have

156
00:08:26,507 --> 00:08:29,187
Speaker 3: been and what we've been working towards, then the results

157
00:08:29,227 --> 00:08:29,667
Speaker 3: will come.

158
00:08:30,347 --> 00:08:33,187
Speaker 2: The margins are so fine, aren't they an alpine skiing,

159
00:08:33,667 --> 00:08:36,827
Speaker 2: what separates a run that gets you on the podium

160
00:08:36,867 --> 00:08:37,907
Speaker 2: from a run that doesn't.

161
00:08:39,307 --> 00:08:42,627
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the margins have always been small, but

162
00:08:42,707 --> 00:08:45,627
Speaker 3: the margins are getting smaller and smaller. So nowadays I

163
00:08:45,667 --> 00:08:47,747
Speaker 3: would say, no matter what the color of the metal,

164
00:08:47,947 --> 00:08:49,907
Speaker 3: they all feel like they are a gold one just

165
00:08:49,907 --> 00:08:53,467
Speaker 3: because of how competitive the competition is when we're talking

166
00:08:53,547 --> 00:08:58,427
Speaker 3: about tenths or hundreds of seconds, and I think, yeah,

167
00:08:58,467 --> 00:09:02,227
Speaker 3: I mean, it comes down to having the right set

168
00:09:02,307 --> 00:09:04,747
Speaker 3: up on the day, understand what the snow conditions are

169
00:09:04,787 --> 00:09:07,627
Speaker 3: going to be. Like. We have world class ski techts

170
00:09:07,627 --> 00:09:10,547
Speaker 3: and resources around us that are getting our equipment ready

171
00:09:10,587 --> 00:09:14,147
Speaker 3: and dialed in, making sure we got right waxes based

172
00:09:14,187 --> 00:09:18,107
Speaker 3: on snow temperatures and humidity and just a vast variety

173
00:09:18,147 --> 00:09:23,107
Speaker 3: of different variables that happen on the day, and we

174
00:09:23,227 --> 00:09:27,347
Speaker 3: have different equipment set up for different scenarios or you know,

175
00:09:27,507 --> 00:09:30,907
Speaker 3: snow changes or you know, whatever it may be. So

176
00:09:31,027 --> 00:09:33,107
Speaker 3: you know, we train day in and day out for

177
00:09:33,387 --> 00:09:35,427
Speaker 3: kind of worst case scenario, and it's kind of that

178
00:09:35,507 --> 00:09:39,267
Speaker 3: mentality of train hard, race easy, so that by the

179
00:09:39,307 --> 00:09:41,987
Speaker 3: time we come to race day, we're prepared for absolutely

180
00:09:42,227 --> 00:09:45,027
Speaker 3: anything that will come in front of us, and we're

181
00:09:45,067 --> 00:09:48,587
Speaker 3: ready to walk towards that challenge and do our absolute best.

182
00:09:49,427 --> 00:09:52,147
Speaker 2: When do you reckon, you make a decision about twenty thirty.

183
00:09:55,427 --> 00:09:56,987
Speaker 3: I might talk to you in April or Bay.

184
00:09:56,987 --> 00:09:59,987
Speaker 2: I don't look, I'm going to once we're done here.

185
00:10:00,147 --> 00:10:02,787
Speaker 2: I know your focus is this. But again, HARKing back

186
00:10:02,787 --> 00:10:05,347
Speaker 2: to our conversation, you know last year, you didn't you

187
00:10:05,347 --> 00:10:08,227
Speaker 2: didn't rule it out. I mean, this is your sixth one,

188
00:10:08,387 --> 00:10:10,067
Speaker 2: you know, do you feel like you could go again?

189
00:10:10,147 --> 00:10:10,867
Speaker 2: Could you go again?

190
00:10:11,707 --> 00:10:13,947
Speaker 3: I mean, it's been a big struggle getting through to

191
00:10:13,987 --> 00:10:17,307
Speaker 3: these ones. You know, it's taken a lot of work,

192
00:10:17,347 --> 00:10:20,227
Speaker 3: and it's taken a lot of effort from you know,

193
00:10:20,267 --> 00:10:23,107
Speaker 3: a lot especially a lot of medical crew, just a

194
00:10:23,147 --> 00:10:26,307
Speaker 3: lot of people around me to get to this position.

195
00:10:26,467 --> 00:10:28,667
Speaker 3: So I'd hate to think what another four years would

196
00:10:28,667 --> 00:10:30,307
Speaker 3: be like. Maybe I'd have to go and a sit

197
00:10:30,427 --> 00:10:33,667
Speaker 3: ski perhaps, so I talked to Corey. Yeah, but the

198
00:10:33,747 --> 00:10:37,067
Speaker 3: thing in Paris Paris skiing is that, yeah, we have

199
00:10:37,187 --> 00:10:39,867
Speaker 3: equipment that can get us down the mountain in different

200
00:10:39,907 --> 00:10:43,227
Speaker 3: ways and forms of if need be. But yeah, in

201
00:10:43,267 --> 00:10:46,347
Speaker 3: all seriousness that be you know, discussions and figuring out

202
00:10:46,387 --> 00:10:49,387
Speaker 3: what that may look like post games. You know, the

203
00:10:49,467 --> 00:10:52,827
Speaker 3: last two seasons leading into into where I'm at now

204
00:10:52,907 --> 00:10:55,667
Speaker 3: has been reason a little bit well, actually really successful

205
00:10:55,707 --> 00:10:57,987
Speaker 3: in some of the best seasons that I've had in

206
00:10:58,107 --> 00:11:00,867
Speaker 3: recent memory, which you know, when you talk to my wife,

207
00:11:00,907 --> 00:11:03,347
Speaker 3: she's kind of like, hell, are you still in there,

208
00:11:03,387 --> 00:11:06,507
Speaker 3: old man? So you know, to still be still, you'll

209
00:11:06,547 --> 00:11:09,467
Speaker 3: be pushing some of these athletes that are born now

210
00:11:09,507 --> 00:11:11,507
Speaker 3: into the early two thousands, and you look at the

211
00:11:11,547 --> 00:11:14,627
Speaker 3: start list in the years, that's pretty incredible.

212
00:11:14,707 --> 00:11:17,667
Speaker 2: Absolutely nothing like having your number one supporter with a

213
00:11:17,707 --> 00:11:20,427
Speaker 2: dose of realism as well. I love that. Just to

214
00:11:20,467 --> 00:11:22,747
Speaker 2: finish my does it feel a bit full circle? I

215
00:11:22,747 --> 00:11:24,587
Speaker 2: know there might be more, but you know, back to

216
00:11:24,627 --> 00:11:27,587
Speaker 2: Italy twenty years later, does it feel a bit full

217
00:11:27,627 --> 00:11:28,307
Speaker 2: circle for you?

218
00:11:29,387 --> 00:11:31,467
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I think it does. When you look at

219
00:11:31,587 --> 00:11:34,027
Speaker 3: Toreno in Italy and you look at you know, the

220
00:11:34,107 --> 00:11:37,427
Speaker 3: map and the journey and going from there to Vancouver

221
00:11:37,587 --> 00:11:40,947
Speaker 3: and then onto Souchi and peong Chang and Beijing, and

222
00:11:40,947 --> 00:11:43,707
Speaker 3: then you know, here we are back in Italy where

223
00:11:43,707 --> 00:11:47,587
Speaker 3: it all began. It is a full circle for sure. Yeah,

224
00:11:47,987 --> 00:11:52,587
Speaker 3: feels natural. It feels I guess almost more like home.

225
00:11:52,627 --> 00:11:54,947
Speaker 3: And I think it's just been more accessible with where

226
00:11:54,947 --> 00:11:57,227
Speaker 3: we're at and where we're training compared to you know,

227
00:11:57,307 --> 00:12:00,387
Speaker 3: say the last three campaigns where they've been in parts

228
00:12:00,427 --> 00:12:02,427
Speaker 3: of the world that are a little bit more remote,

229
00:12:02,467 --> 00:12:04,827
Speaker 3: little bit more difficult to get to and to training.

230
00:12:05,787 --> 00:12:07,747
Speaker 3: So to be here in the middle of the Dolomites

231
00:12:07,827 --> 00:12:09,547
Speaker 3: is a very special place.

232
00:12:09,907 --> 00:12:11,467
Speaker 2: Well, can't wait to see how it goes for you

233
00:12:11,467 --> 00:12:13,507
