Erika Reineke Part 1

United States competitive sailor Erika Reineke went to her first Olympic trials in 2015 before she had even graduated college. She didn't qualify as a sailor for the 2016 Rio Olympics, but she was unfazed. She kept training and eventually returned to the Olympic trials this time in 2019 in Sakaiminato City, Japan feeling stronger than ever. In part 1 Reineke tells us about how she got into sailing, her first Olympic trials in 2015, and how she dealt with pressure at such a high stakes event.

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.
