Jessie Diggins

Jessie Diggins is a three-time Olympic medalist and the most decorated American cross-country skier in history. A gold, silver, and bronze medalist, she has won virtually everything there is to win in her sport, earning 88 World Cup medals and redefining what’s possible for Team USA.

Jessie is currently preparing to compete in the 2026 Olympic Games in Milan, where she will race in six events and is a serious medal contender in all of them.

Despite standing just 5’4” and 125 pounds, Jessie is widely regarded as one of the toughest athletes in the world. Known as “The Queen of Pain,” she is famous for her ability to push beyond perceived limits—what she calls going deep into “the Pain Cave.” Her unforgettable Olympic gold-medal comeback remains one of the most electrifying moments in Winter Games history and a powerful example of resilience, belief, and performing under extreme pressure.

Off the course, Jessie is a sought-after voice on peak performance, perseverance, and sustaining excellence. Heading into the Olympics NBC is airing a 30-minute special on her journey, Sports Illustrated is featuring her on its cover, and her upcoming documentary, Threshold, produced by Patrick Dempsey, will be released following the Games.

In her keynotes, Jessie brings audiences inside the mindset of an elite competitor—sharing candid lessons on overcoming setbacks, embracing discomfort, trusting your team, and performing at your best when expectations are highest. Her message resonates with leaders and teams navigating pressure, change, and ambitious goals, leaving audiences inspired to push past their own limits and perform at a higher level.
