Live Like Sam Day 2020
Oct 10th

Changing Our World with Acts of Self-Compassion and Kindness

What is Live Like Sam Day?

Sam Jackenthal was a U.S. Junior National Ski Champion, an internationally ranked freestyle skier and competitive inline rollerblader. More than this, he was an exceptionally kind, giving and fun-loving kid who valued compassion and teamwork over competition. In 2015, the world lost Sam to a tragic skiing accident in Australia; but while Sam may no longer be with us physically, his spirit has left a tremendous impact on all of those he left behind.

Live Like Sam Day, which was created in conjunction with U.S. Ski & Snowboard, is a day we can all reflect on self-compassion and acts of kindness we do for ourselves and for others. This 2nd annual day of remembrance marks the 5th anniversary of Sam's celebration of life on October 10, 2015, and every Live Like Sam Day is a celebration in which we can all remind ourselves of the Live Like Sam guiding principles. On 10/10 - and every day - help us keep Sam's spirit alive by showing self-compassion and spreading kindness in our communities and throughout the world!

He Taught Us All How to Fly

Sam, you taught us how to fly. You set an example for athletes - young and old. Whether we knew you or not, we all feel the joy and drive you carried around with you.
Fly, Sam, fly!

Show Your Support for the Live Like Sam Foundation

We strongly believe that while we teach our youth to be the best physically and mentally in sport, there's still something essential missing in how we prepare them for a life of competition and service. Live Like Sam believes more can be done to teach our youth the skills they need to be successful both in life and sport.

This is why Live Like Sam is committed to providing:

  • Programs and support around mental wellbeing for our youth,
  • Meaningful and creative scholarship programs supporting our youth in their mission to excel now and in adulthood and
  • A world-class network of partners committed to helping our youth grow into healthy and productive young adults.
