In this episode, I spoke with Elizabeth and Nancy Jorgensen about their middle-grade and young adult biography, Gwen Jorgensen: USA’s First Olympic Gold Medal Triathlete, which they wrote in collaboration with Gwen.
We discussed:
- What makes a hero and why kids need heroes
- Gwen’s “hero’s journey” from kid to accountant to gold medalist
- How to reward focused effort while also encouraging well-rounded development
- How Gwen’s early struggles prepared her for success as an adult
- “There is power in what you tell yourself.”
- Learn about your own potential: Practice Core Principles, Emphasize Recovery, Show Gratitude
- Surrounding yourself with the right people
