Dr. Natalia Siuba-Jarosz is an elite Polish Parasnowboarder and Doctor in Radiology. She has gone by Simba ever since her last name was misspelled in grade school, and the nickname stuck. In this episode we hear how Natalia balances both the world’s of elite snowboarding and being a doctor, as well as her thoughts on women in the sport. Hint: we need more women. “Now it’s changing, but almost all of the coaches from other teams are men…It’s hard to be a disabled woman in Poland.”

Contributing experts include Margorzata Kelm (Natalia’s Coach) and Maciek Jarosz (Natalia’s Husband).
