Shot At Love

A Winner's Mindset While Dating With Olympian & Comeback Kid Kelly Gunther


Listen Later

This week’s guest is Kelly Gunther, she’s a motivational speaker, an Olympian, and American Speed Skater. But what’s truly amazing about her is that she’s the ultimate Comeback Kid. Her story is one of inspiration. At the 2010 Olympic trials, she endured a double compound fracture that nearly severed her foot from her leg. A fracture so bad for most a dream of the Olympics would have been over. But, instead, Kelly with tears in her eyes got back on the ice. 

At the 2014 Olympic trials, Kelly skated a personal best on the same track as her accident. This girl is in her own lane of greatness, and she always has been. She realized early on that she had herself, and it was up to her to make it happen. Kelly is also single, and in this episodes, she shares what it takes to have a winning mindset and how having that winning attitude will help you succeed online.

Kelly Gunther is an American Speed Skater who participated in the 2014 Winter Olympics. She began roller skating at age six and briefly tried figure skating, but she was too fast for the music, so she took up speed skating. As an inline speed skater, she won multiple World Championship gold medals on the United States relay team. At the 2010 Olympic trials, Kelly made the United States speed skating team but was bumped from the team after another skater was granted a re-skate. In March 2010, she fell during a race and suffered a tragic injury. After intensive rehab, Kelly returned to skating and set two personal best times in November 2011. She made the 2011–2012 World Cup team and placed third in the 1000 meters national championships. At the 2014 U.S. Olympic trials, she skated a personal best time to place fourth and make the Olympic team.

In her words, she wasn’t first. She wasn’t last; she was always the girl right there. She is the ultimate comeback kid, and sometimes it’s as easy as – just continuing to show up. Kerry Brett and Kelly Gunther cover a lot of ground around dating and being single. Topics include
