Olympic Silver Medalist & World Champion Skeleton Racer; Author of "No Excuses"; CEO at PACE Performance Strategies
Noelle Pikus-Pace Biography
Noelle Pikus-Pace is a silver medalist, two-time World Champion, and 26-time World Cup medalist in skeleton racing. She became the first American woman to win the overall World Cup finals and the first American woman to win the Skeleton World Championships, achieving victory by the largest margin in the sport's history.
Pikus-Pace's athletic career has been marked by resilience and determination. While ranked No. 1 in the world and considered a favorite for Olympic gold, she suffered a severe leg injury in a bobsled accident just months before the Olympic Games, preventing her from competing. She returned to competition, racing on a sled designed and built by her husband, and narrowly missed the podium at the Vancouver Games. After a brief retirement, she made a comeback, competing in 32 national and international events over two years, finishing on the podium 29 times and concluding her career with a silver medal at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.
At the Sochi Games, Pikus-Pace received the award for Moment of the Games for her family-filled celebration after receiving the silver medal in the women's skeleton event. The image of her leaping into the stands to embrace her family became a symbol of perseverance and purpose. Pikus-Pace holds a bachelor's degree and a Master of Business Administration degree, combining athletic achievement with academic accomplishment.
Following her retirement from competition, Pikus-Pace has pursued a career as an author, speaker, and entrepreneur. She and her husband lead PACE Performance Strategies, a consulting firm focused on performance improvement. Pikus-Pace is the author of "Focused" and "No Excuses." Her book "Focused" has sold more than 30,000 copies. Her work includes keynote speaking, consulting, mindset coaching, and the release of "No Excuses," a book aimed at those seeking growth and adaptability. As a two-time Olympian and TEDx speaker, Pikus-Pace shares insights on resilience, leadership, and high performance with audiences across industries.
