Shiffrin
C LASSIFIEDS
The Bulletin
Continued from B1
Plus, a tweaked back forced
Shiffrin to sit out the season
opener in October, delaying
her comeback by five more
weeks.
For a racer who thrives on
training volume, the break was
detrimental to Shiffrin.
“If you drastically alter the
volume of training that she’s
getting from one year to the
next, that’s going to affect
her,” said Jeff Lackie, Shiffrin’s
strength and conditioning
coach.
Making matters even more
complicated was that Lackie
got stuck in his native Canada
during the offseason because
of the pandemic.
“That was challenging,”
Lackie said. “Definitely had to
get creative to coach remotely,
and that’s never easy. Doesn’t
replace being there in person.”
That Shiffrin has returned
to racing and has been per-
forming consistently entering
the world championships in
Cortina d’Ampezzo is a testa-
ment not only to her own will
and mental strength but also
the influence of her coaches.
Day, who is in his fifth year
with Shiffrin, and Lackie, who
is in his sixth, have to tread
lightly with an athlete who felt
that her life got derailed.
“There is obviously a cer-
tain amount of sensitivity that
goes into how you handle each
day,” Day said. “There is waves
of grief and you don’t really
know when these waves are
going to come. Emotionally
and from a caring standpoint,
we have to approach it a little
differently.”
For Lackie, it all comes
down to empathy.
“I can sympathize with what
she’s going through. I lost my
father when I was younger and
it’s challenging,” Lackie said.
“Sometimes what I am telling
her is not what she wants to
hear. But I am always quick to
remind her that I am trying to
help. If I don’t say something
that I see her doing that’s not
to the level I know she’s capa-
ble of then I wouldn’t be doing
my job.”

Mikaela Shiffrin awaits the podium ceremony after winning a World Cup slalom event in Flachau, Austria, on
Jan. 12.
“I can sympathize with what she’s going through. I lost my
father when I was younger and it’s challenging. Sometimes
what I am telling her is not what she wants to hear. But I am
always quick to remind her that I am trying to help. If I don’t
say something that I see her doing that’s not to the level I
know she’s capable of then I wouldn’t be doing my job.”
— Jeff Lackie, Mikaela Shiffrin’s strength and conditioning coach
ering expectations would be
counterproductive.
“Over time it’s easy to fall
into a state of complacency
where you’re no longer chal-
lenging and you’re trying to
avoid conflict. Do I not tell
her something because I don’t
want to hurt her feelings? Is
that justified?” Lackie said.
“She is incredibly resilient,
despite everything that’s hap-
pened. As a coach your No. 1
job is to believe in your athlete
and in your athlete’s abilities to
succeed and perform. Mikaela
makes that aspect of my job
very easy. What she has over-
come in the last year has been
incredible, a testament to her
strength.”
Even before the tragedy,
Day and Lackie had the deli-
cate job of balancing their du-
ties while also working with
Shiffrin’s mother, who is also
one of her coaches.
Shiffrin revealed before the
season she wouldn’t have re-
turned to the World Cup if
her mom, Eileen, had decided
against traveling the circuit
throughout Europe with her.
“It’s an all-or-nothing situa-
tion between the two of them,”
Lackie said. “They always were
incredibly close.
“It’s funny, I see other peo-
ple look like they don’t under-
stand that connection, that
bond,” Lackie added. “I have a
really close relationship with
my mom as well and it’s defi-
nitely something I’m grateful
for. It’s such a powerful tool,
to be able to have that uncon-
ditional love and support with
you all the time. It’s such a
huge advantage for her.”
After being separated for so
long last year, the tight-knit
Shiffrin team has drawn closer
together since they reunited.
“They’ve been incredibly
patient with me through ups
and downs of the last year,
sticking with me, finding all
of the positives and being en-
thusiastic on the good days
and still keeping my spirits
high on the tough days,” Shif-
frin said.
“I know it’s not easy for
them. But they’ve been really
sticking together and sticking
with me and trying to sort of
pull me up by my bootstraps
and help me to get back to a
really high level of skiing.”
