Maxim Naumov is a U.S. Olympic figure skater and member of Team USA who represented the United States at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. A lifelong athlete, Maxim has competed at the highest levels of figure skating, developing the discipline, resilience, and mental strength required to perform under extraordinary pressure.
Maxim is particularly interested in the intersection of athletic performance, psychology, resilience, and storytelling—and in the human experiences behind competition. He is passionate about helping young athletes build confidence, navigate pressure, and develop the mental tools needed to thrive both in sport and in life.
His experiences as an elite athlete have also shaped a growing interest in entertainment, media, and public speaking, where he connects with audiences through authentic stories, humor, and conversations about perseverance, identity, performance, and what it means to keep moving forward when the path changes unexpectedly.
Beyond competition, Maxim is committed to supporting the next generation of athletes through Building Stronger Minds, an initiative focused on helping young athletes develop resilience, confidence, and healthy approaches to the mental and emotional demands of sport. He is passionate about contributing to conversations that make sport stronger, healthier, and more human.
Maxim brings a perspective shaped by elite competition, personal growth, and a genuine curiosity about what motivates people to keep pushing forward.
