Episode 4 of 4 Meet amazing Raleigh Hager, a two time world class wake surfing champion who fell into the dregs of bipolar depression, then clawed her way back to reality, and how she did it.  (Be certain to check out episode 1, 2 & 3 to get the full context of this amazing woman’s journey from the highest highs, to the lowest lows, back to sanity.) Why must you meet Raleigh? First, her talents are so off the charts and God given that for that reason alone, you’d have to listen in.  At 10 years old she won the world wake surfing championship when the average championship age is in the range of 23. Imagine that! Then, Raleigh defended her world championship the next year at 11 years old, thus solidifying her as the real deal, no one time fluke here. If all you heard was this story of her world class championships and athletic prowess, that would be enough.  But there’s more. Second, only a few years later Raleigh fell hard into a chemically Hellish world.  She spent about 8 years in a q

Why meet Raleigh? First, her talents are so off the charts and God given that for that reason alone, you’d have to listen in.  At 10 years old she won the world wake surfing championship when the average age of a wake surfing world champion should be in the range of 23.

Check out episode 1 to get the full context of this amazing woman’s journey from the highest highs, to the lowest lows, back to sanity. Meet my good friend, Raleigh Hager, a two time world class wake surfing champion who fell into the dregs of bipolar depression, then back to reality, and how she found the light again. Why meet Raleigh? First, her talents are so off the charts and God given that for that reason alone, you’d have to listen in.  At 10 years old she won the world wake surfing championship. To put that victory only slightly in perspective, the average age of a wake surfing world champion should be in the range of a 23-ish year old. Imagine that! Then, Raleigh defended her world championship the next year at 11 years old, thus solidifying Raleigh as the real deal, no one time fluke here. If all you heard was this story of her world class championships and athletic prowess, that would be enough.  But there’s more.

Episode 1 of 4. You have to tune in & meet Raleigh Hager, world class and world wake surfing champion.  Why do you have to meet Raleigh?  There are 4 reasons why you need to check in and listen: First, her talents are so off the charts and God given that for that reason alone, you’d have to listen in.  But how about this: at 10 years old she won the world wake surfing championship. Yes, you heard that right, at 10 years old!  To put that victory only slightly in perspective, the average age of a wake surfing world champion should be in the range of a 23-ish year old.

If all you heard was this story of her world class championships and athletic prowess, that would be enough.  But there’s more. Second, only a few years later Raleigh fell hard into a chemicall

I’m chatting with Coach Bob Bowman, Olympic Swimming Team Head Coach (2016), a titan among coaches and of course Michael Phelps swimming coach. Coach Bowman is currently coaching several Olympic hopefuls as head swim coach at Arizona State University. My bet is he produces several 2021 Olympians out of the current crop. Bowman and Phelps are intrinsically tied together for all of history making it nearly impossible to mention or think of the two separately.  However you see it, the success of this duo has ascended Coach Bowman to arguably the greatest Coach of all time; and of course Michael Phelps to the greatest athlete of all time.  And Coach Bowman has coached other Olympians too. While we can debate if Brady, Montana, Elway, Bradshaw or others are the GOATs, it is without any question whatsoever that Phelps, as Olympian and swimmer, is absolutely the greatest and most decorated athlete of all time and Coach Bowman had everything to do with that success. Could Phelps have had the success he had withou

This is a super short “quick clip” podcast with Olympic Trials qualifier Grant House.  As a multi event Olympic Trials qualifier, I wanted to get into his head about how he feels about the postment of the 2020 Olympic games out to 2021. Grant is coached by the greatest coach of all time - Michael Phelps Coach, Coach Bob Bowman. You can bet Grant’s got the complete toolbox to achieve the highest pinnacle of athletic success. Despite the year-out change, you’d better keep a close eye on Mr. House too.  This fella has it in him to medal. Check out what Jedi Coach Bob Bowman had to say about Grant: "Grant House is one of the hardest working swimmers I've ever coached. He's gone from being a promising junior swimmer to a bona fide world-class competitor," - Coach Bob Bowman. You can take it to the bank that this fish is fast, and he’s only getting faster and more dangerous.  And with the postponement of the 2020 Olympics to 20201, this actually adds up in his favor. Let’s check in with Grant and hear how he’s

Steven is one of the many athletes confronted by COVID-19. He’s avoided infection so far, but he’s nonetheless deeply affected by this unprecedented event because as an Olympic Trials qualifier in Track & Field, the Olympics have been pushed out an entire year to 2021. Listen in on this “quick clip” of how Steven’s working this massive change out, both mentally and emotionally, his new training regime, and in general how he’s dealing with this temporary blow. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-who-are-you-podcast/support

“Begin with one step” is Eric Larsen’s motto—and how he made his way from Wisconsin outdoorsman to world record-setting polar explorer. A lover of extreme cold temperatures and the extreme discipline required to execute big adventures, Larsen started with the goal of traveling in the coldest places in the world.  Since completing his first trip to the North Pole in 1995, Larsen has fat-biked 700 miles to the South Pole and became the first to reach the North Pole on foot during the summer.  And he’s the only person to have completed expeditions to both poles and the summit of Mount Everest—all within the same year. In 2014, Larsen took what may have been the “the last North Pole Expedition"-- one that climate change has rendered too unstable to possibly trek in the future.  Since then, it’s become a different mission that drives him—the environment.   Come in and meet an amazing individual, extreme athlete Eric Larsen, explorer of all things cold, especially the arctic. --- Support this podcast: https:/
