This podcast is with Craig Blanchette, a former Olympian in wheelchair racing. I met Craig while I was going to undergraduate school at the University of Oregon and doing wheelchair racing there. Craig is a fellow Olympian and Paralympian. Craig's coach, Kevin Hansen, was also my coach at the time. He was part of Team USA during the 1980s and ‘90s. Craig was born with a birth defect called Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD). In the process he became a world-class champion, setting 21 world records and earning 8 World Champion titles. He was born with the desire to compete and to get the most out of every experience. His athletic accomplishments and winning attitude landed him a full Nike sponsorship that lasted 8 years, and today he coaches others to be their best. --- Website: https://www.traipsingglobal.com/ --- Feel free to listen to the audio version of our podcast on the following platforms OR wherever you listen to your podcasts.
