Ep 38: 5x Paralympic Gold Medalist, Jake Adicoff feat. Peter Wolter and Reid Goble

Jake Adicoff is fresh off winning 4 Gold Medals at the 2026 Winter Paralympic Games in Milano Cortina (+1 Gold from Beijing 2022)! Jake is a U.S. Paralympic cross-country skier and one of the most dominant athletes in the sport today. Jake is visually impaired and competes alongside his guides, Reid Goble and Peter Wolter, two elite skiers who help him navigate the course at race speed, communicating constantly and working in total sync. 

Together, this team just delivered an extraordinary performance at the 2026 Winter Paralympic Games. Jake came in with a bold goal: to win four gold medals. Over the course of the week, that’s exactly what he did. It was a defining moment in his career and a testament not just to his talent, but to the trust, communication, and connection between all three of them.

Jake’s journey to this point has been years in the making; from growing up skiing in Sun Valley, to competing at Bowdoin College, to finding his path in Paralympic sport and building a world-class partnership with his guides.

In this episode, we talk about that journey, what it’s really like to race as a team, the highs and challenges of the Paralympic stage, and the deeper meaning behind Jake’s experience as an openly gay athlete competing at the highest level.
