Today marks 26 years since I stood atop the podium in Sydney and became an Olympic gold medalist.🥇

Breaking my foot in 3 places just before the Olympic Trials led me to train in ways I never would have otherwise.

It forced me to face hard emotions and painful realities. And ultimately, it led me to discover purpose and motivation - the ingredients to grit and perseverance.

Training my mind more than my body is what allowed me to rise in the most pressure‑packed competition on the planet.

I used those same lessons to make two more Olympic Teams, win the World Cup and the World Championships - becoming the first woman in history to hold all three titles.

And now, I love teaching athletes exactly how I did this.

If you’ve been winning the warm‑up then fading when it counts, I built Confident Competitor to help you lock in the mindset that holds under pressure. 

Today is the final day to grab the early‑bird bonus. ⏳ Bonus ends tonight- link in bio!
