While Abeda enjoyed the different environment, it was not until he was ten years old that he thought about pursuing an Olympic Career when his coach TJ pushed him outside of his comfort zone.
Leading up to the Olympics in December 2017, Abeda partially fractured his jaw and lost two teeth in a training accident.
After two surgeries and a year of rehabilitation, he returned to competition in March 2017 and successfully met the qualification standards for the games.
[15] In July 2019, Abeda posted a video on his LinkedIn account showing him training in WinSport's ice house.
After the games, Abeda officially announced his retirement from Alpine skiing on his social media; however, it appears that his FIS license is still active.
He dedicates most of his off-snow time to his training which includes an extensive amount of olympic weightlifting, boxing, running, and programming.
He credits Cory Gregory's SquatEveryDay program as the catalyst behind his training regiment and a vital tool that helped him rehabilitate his knee.
[17] After he failed to qualify for Sochi, Abeda was invited to a TedX conference where he discussed his struggles and his methodology to overcome his obstacles.
Abeda also discussed the negative impact of attending the 2012 Youth Olympic Games and how it damaged his morale and reputation.
