Mikaela Shiffrin invites her mom and longtime coach to join her on her podcast.

Mikaela Shiffrin recently featured a very special guest on her podcast What’s the Point with Mikaela Shiffrin, bringing on someone who has played a defining role in her journey—her mother and long-time coach, Eileen Shiffrin.

Eileen Shiffrin, Mikaeala Shiffrin’s mother.

Eileen is not only Mikaela’s parent but also a hugely accomplished coach, widely regarded as the most successful alpine ski coach in history. While she often downplays her influence on Mikaela’s achievements, it’s difficult to overlook the major role she has played in shaping one of the sport’s greatest careers.

Since launching her podcast, Shiffrin has welcomed several high-profile guests, including her fiancé and fellow skier Aleksander Aamodt Kilde and gymnastics icon Simone Biles. However, this latest episode stands out as particularly meaningful given Eileen’s deep personal and professional impact on Mikaela’s success.

Listeners can catch the full conversation on platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, or wherever they typically access podcasts.
