32. Katie Hoff
<p>For today's episode, we had the honor of speaking with Katie Hoff. She’s a former professional American swimmer, an 8x World Champion, a 2x Olympian and a 3x Olympic Medalist. Today, Katie is a bestselling author, a keynote speaker and co-founder of the company Synergy Dryland. We speak about her relentless attitude of wanting to become the best from a very young age and what it was like for her to compete at the Olympics when she was only 15 years old. She also shares how to deal with expectations and what she has learnt from managing the disappointment of realizing that not all things turn out the way you want them to. Retiring from professional swimming in 2015, Katie explains what it was like having to give up her athletic career because of a health condition, and how she found her identity outside of the pool after that. Today, Katie shares her experiences and learnings with others and released her bestselling book ‘’BluePrint - An Olympian's Story of Striving, Adapting and Embracing the Suck’’ in 2020.</p> <p>Enjoy the episode!</p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/kthoff7/?hl=en">Katie's Instagram</a><br> <a href="https://www.kthoff.com/">Katie's Website</a><br> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/synergydryland/?hl=en">Synergy Dryland's Instagram</a><br> <a href="https://www.synergydryland.com/">Synergy Dryland's Website</a></p> <p><a href="https://patreon.com/empowermentcourage" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Empowerment & Courage's Patreon<br> </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/ecpodcast_/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Empowerment & Courage's Instagram<br> </a><a href="https://twitter.com/ecpodcast_" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Empowerment & Courage's Twitter</a><br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/empowerment.courage/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Empowerment & Courage's Facebook</a><br> <a href="http://empowermentcourage.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Empowerment & Courage's Website</a></p>

31. Cherelle Thompson
<p>For today’s episode, we had the great honor of speaking with Cherelle Thompson. She’s a professional swimmer from Trinidad & Tobago, currently preparing for the Tokyo Olympics. Cherelle was a 2x NCAA All-American at the University of Tennessee and has broken both national Trinidad & Tobago records and regional Caribbean records. We speak about her childhood dream of competing at the Olympic Games and the crazy journey that would eventually lead to her qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics. She also talks about the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, especially when you face adversity and need encouragement to keep going and stay positive. Knowing what a major impact sports can have on one's life, Cherelle is today a mentor for young aspiring athletes worldwide and started her own infant swim school back home in Trinidad, called Aquasense. She’s very passionate about giving back to the younger generation and wants to inspire them the same way that others inspired her when she was a kid.</p> <p>Enjoy the episode!</p> <p><br> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cher_ellet/">Cherelle's Instagram</a><br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Cherelle-Thompson-101957294916813/">Cherelle's Facebook</a><br> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/aquasensett/">Aquasense's Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://patreon.com/empowermentcourage" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Empowerment & Courage's Patreon<br> </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/ecpodcast_/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Empowerment & Courage's Instagram<br> </a><a href="https://twitter.com/ecpodcast_" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Empowerment & Courage's Twitter</a><br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/empowerment.courage/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Empowerment & Courage's Facebook</a><br> <a href="http://empowermentcourage.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Empowerment & Courage's Website</a></p>
