Living in a world where we are constantly under pressure to keep up with people in our circle or industry often distracts us and it is important to remember the reason we started, our purpose.
Today, I’m talking to Ryan Dodd, the best waterski jumper in the world, about overcoming fear, the highs and lows of being a successful athlete, and lessons everyone can learn something from. Ryan is a world champion water ski jumper with over 45 professional wins, is the world record holder for the farthest jump at 254 feet, and is currently ranked #1 in the world. Ryan is also a business owner, a father, husband, and an incredible mentor in the lives of many athletes.
Elite athletes are often held on a pedestal, literally and figuratively, when really they are battling the same nerves and fears as everyone else. Even as the accolades, trophies, and records come, the fear never goes away.
Tune in and listen to episode three of Unspoken Bravery. Ryan and I talk about the dangers in the sport of waterskiing, our relationships with fear, his traumatic head injury that shifted his mindset, how we can use huge setbacks as a slingshot forward, what bravery means to him, and how he continues to stay motivated after years of success.
