In 2003, I was in New Zealand to compete in the Triathlon world championships. It was an amazing time. I met some amazing athletes from around the world, most notably Champion Barb Lindquist and Sheila Taormina, who went on to become the first person to qualify for the Olympics in THREE different sports. But the most interesting person I met? Today’s guest, Tricia Downing.

Among a sea of mental toughness, resilience and grit, none exceeded Trish. She’d become a triathlete after a serious bike wreck left her paralyzed from the waist down. While the rest of us swam, cycled and ran the course, Trish did it with just her upper body. Incredible. We continued crossing paths after that trip, and she was actually one of our first coaches when we launched Catalyst Coaching to serve employees nationwide back in 2007.

Her amazing life journey has continued, and when I saw she was launching into yet another new adventure, I immediately reached out to see if she’d be willing to share her story with you. You’re going to soak this one in. You can access more insights from Tricia, including her books and how to bring her to your next conference or event at https://triciadowning.com/
