About this episode
In the next episode of Meet Team USA Figure Skating (Frozen Waters), a special mini-series from Unfiltered Waters, Katie sits down with Max Naumov, U.S. national medalist, for an honest conversation about emotion, resilience, and the mental side of competition. Max reflects on performing under pressure, learning to sit with nerves instead of fighting them, and how embracing uncertainty has changed the way he approaches skating. He opens up about confidence, vulnerability, and why allowing himself to feel everything—fear included—has helped him grow both on and off the ice. Thoughtful, grounded, and deeply self-aware, this conversation continues the spirit of Frozen Waters—a closer look at the journeys, identities, and inner lives of Team USA figure skaters on the road to the Games.
