Barbara Cochran

Barbara Ann Cochran (born January 4, 1951, Richmond, Vermont) is an American former alpine skier. She is a member of the famous family of "Skiing Cochrans" which has operated a small ski area in Vermont since 1961 and has placed several generations of athletes on the US Ski Team (including Barbara Ann, nine time national champion brother Bob Cochran, three time national champion sister Marilyn Cochran, sister Lindy Cochran, nephew Jimmy Cochran, niece Jessica Kelley and nephews Roger Brown and Tim Kelley). Her father Mickey Cochran was a long time coach of the US Ski Team. She is now living in her home in Starksboro, Vermont working hard on her own business, Golden Opportunities in Sports, a way to the mental side of competition. She is also working on a book that should soon be up and running. You can visit her website at conqueringthesubconsciousmind.com.
