The Sarah Wells Story
Olympian Sarah Wells joins Amanda after delivering her keynote at the Flagstaff Celebrate Success Gala to talk about what it really means to pursue excellence — not for applause, but for who we become in the process.
Sarah shares how her journey from the track to the stage taught her that excellence isn’t about medals or titles, but about choices, resilience, and redefining success when the plan falls apart. From missing her second Olympic qualification to finding purpose in failure, Sarah opens up about identity, discipline, and why hope matters more than winning.
Whether you’re chasing a business goal, raising a family, or just figuring out what’s next, Sarah’s message hits home: excellence is who we become when no one’s watching.
