Heather Olson won not only the Gold medal at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta Georgia in front of the home crowd but they also received a perfect 10 score! It was the first time in history for artistic swimming, previously known as synchronized swimming, to compete as a full team in the Olympics. Heather recounts her years growing up and the dedication and perseverance it took to become number one. Not only was the physical nature grueling, but also the mental game. From quotes they'd say to each other like "the water is toasty warm", and "let's try and make each other better" to "practice like it's competition and compete like it's practice". Heather and her team were able to mentally make the day to day grind for years to come to literally finish on top. 

From team captain at Stanford, Stanford's head coach for over 11 years to coaching the walnut creek Aquanuts the last 11 years, she continues to remain in the sport, along with being the NBC announcer for the Olympics. When researching Heather, the amount of awards & accolades were too long to list but let's just say she was inducted into the synchro hall of fame and received the Esther Williams Creative Achievement award. 

Aside from her hard work and dedication in the sport she loves, she is raising two boys with her husband. I'm honored to call her my friend and am so inspired by her story. A great one to end 2023 and dream big & plan for 2024! Enjoy & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
