Hurdle

241. Katie Hoff Anderson, Former Pro Swimmer & 3x Olympic Medalist


Listen Later

Relentless spirit: It's something Katie Hoff Anderson proudly posesses, She's an 8-time World Champion, 2-time Olympian, and earned a silver and two bronze Olympic medals in swimming — all before a devastating medical diagnosis brought her career to a screeching hault. Once hailed as the "female Michael Phelps," she withstood tremendous pressure and emerged from years of effort with valuable lessons learned on what it takes to succeed and power through bitter disappointment. In today's episode, she's talking to us about how she navigated the highs and lows, what it felt like to transition from being a full-time athlete into the corporate world, how she navigated depression and high expectations, and more.
