Description
Alana Nichols’ Wild Idea: To become a world-class athlete despite any limits. At 17, Alana was on her way to college on a softball scholarship when she attempted a flip snowboarding, and landed directly on a rock on her back. She suffered a spinal cord injury that left her paraplegic. Instead of giving up sports altogether, Alana transitioned to adaptive sports, quickly becoming a top Olympic competitor in skiing, wheelchair basketball and sprint kayaking. She has some crazy stories about falling, and about winning. She has most recently taken up surfing, and is one of a few females competing in adaptive surfing, and helping pave the way for more to come. Listen to this episode if you: - Want to get massively inspired. - Love the Olympic Games and sports. - Have ever felt like giving up on anything. - Want to hear what it's like to be on shows like Conan O'Brien and compete in the Olympics.
