Episode 8: Charlie White

My guest is the first Olympic champion I’ve had on the podcast - Charlie White! Charlie and his ice dance partner Meryl Davis are the 2014 Olympic Gold Medalists, as well as the 2010 Olympic silver medalists. They are also two-time World champions and six-time national champions. In 2022, Charlie launched the Michigan Ice Dance Academy with his wife Tanith (herself an Olympic medalist in ice dance), and their friend, junior world champion Greg Zeurlin. They are already off to a strong start with elite dance teams such as Caroline Green and Michael Parsons, and Katarina Wolfkostin and Jeffrey Chen working with them. When announcing MIDA, Charlie talked about the importance of supporting athletes as whole people, and I am eager to learn more about their coaching approach!
