What is it like to be one of the greatest athletes on the planet? What is it like when one of the greatest athletes on the planet suffers an ATV accident that results in paralysis from the waist down? And what impact takes place when that athlete just happens to be outspoken, free spirit and determined to make a difference?
Welcome to the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast. Today’s guest, 6-time Olympic Gold Medalist Amy Van Dyken-Rouen has seemingly done it all, in spite of suffering from sever asthma. World records, the Associated Press and ESPY female athlete of the year, one of Glamour magazine’s top 10 women of the year, one of 25 most influential females in sports, gracing the cover of newspapers and magazines ranging from Time and Newsweek to Sports Illustrated and guest on shows ranging from David Letterman to the Today Show. Then, on June 6th, 2014 Van Dyken was injured in a serious ATV accident that severed her spinal cord, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down, changing everything. We talk about the gold medals, the accident, the Rams (of course!) and so much more in this engaging discussion.
