Episode 99: Georgia Ellenwood, Heptathlete

If you don’t know what the heptathlon is, prepare to have your mind blown. For episode 99 (!!) I’m chatting with Georgia Ellenwood, heptathlete and Olympic hopeful. We sat down earlier this year at the Under Armour Human Performance Summit, and let me tell you — for a woman in her mid-20s, Georgia is wise beyond her years (also: stunning both inside and out). On today’s show, we talk about everything from what life was like for her growing up in the Vancouver area, crossing the border to go to college at the University of Wisconsin, and the struggles she’s had along the way in her athletic career so far. We also touch on what was a major #hurdlemoment for her, dropping out of a meet part-way through due to a bad case of plantar fasciitis, and how she didn’t let that one “failure” define her.

“

Failure is one of the best things that could happen to you. It’s OK to be sad in that moment. When I go through those moments, I realize that ‘this can develop into something good, even if it feels so horrible right now.’"
