Chris Rast Part 1

Chris Rast has been to the Olympics 4 times. Three as a sailor, one as a coach. Two as a skipper and one as a crew. Once in the 470 sailboat and twice in the 49er sailboat. Three times representing Switzerland and once representing the United States. He is by far the most experienced Olympian we've had on the podcast so far and the diversity of his experiences makes for a riveting conversation. He shares his start in the 470 being coached by the winningest Olympic sailing coach of all time. How he learned from going to the Olympics as a coach and how he worked to improve his teamwork with each of his different teammates.

Om Podcasten

For a couple weeks every four years sailors in the Olympic games light up our hearts with stories of triumph and determination. Yet the larger part of their stories happen in the years of training and preparation in between each Olympics. The Hold Fast Podcast hosted by Nathan Housberg showcases United States sailors with Olympic experience or aspirations as they share the parts of their journey that don't typically make it to press.
