Description
In this episode, we dive deep into the remarkable journey of Simone Manuel, a trailblazing athlete whose accomplishments transcend the pool. Simone, a 5-time Olympic Medalist and the first Black female swimmer to clinch an individual Olympic Gold medal, opens up about her recent triumphs, setbacks, and the profound impact she's making beyond swimming lanes.   We explore her stellar performances at the US Open earlier this year and her training regimen at ASU under the guidance of coaches Bob and Herbie who have empowered her to stay patient with herself. Simone shares her passionate commitment to her foundation, dedicated to providing education and resources for BIPOC youth, fostering positive swim experiences, and enhancing water safety awareness in communities of color.   Reflecting on her historic Gold win in Rio and the contrasting atmosphere of the 2021 Tokyo Games, Simone offers candid insights into her experience with Overtraining Syndrome. She bravely discusses the physical and emotional toll, revealing her resilience, patience, and unwavering determination to overcome adversity.   Beyond the pool, Simone shares heartwarming stories about new marriage life and the joy of celebrating their love with not one but two weddings. Through both triumphs and challenges, Simone Manuel's story inspires us to push boundaries, advocate for change, and embrace the transformative power of resilience.   Visit dreamrecovery.io to have your best sleep ever.
