Kelly Gunther has had an incredible life journey so far and continues to rise! 

She is an American Speed Skater who participated in the 2014 Winter Olympics. She began roller skating at age six, briefly tried figure skating, then took up inline speed skating. As an inline skater, she won multiple World Championship gold medals on the United States relay team. In 2009, she transitioned to ice speed skating.

In March of 2010, she fell during a race and suffered a double-compound fracture that nearly severed her foot from her leg. After intensive rehab, Kelly was able to return to skating and set two personal best times in November 2011. 

In this episode, not only does Kelly talk about their journey to the Olympics, but she speaks about life with a learning disability and now it pushed her towards her talents rather than hold her back.

She speaks of persistence, not letting anything stop you from reaching your goals, and also how in each chapter of your life you can EVOLVE into new aspirations.

Now, Kelly resides in Ohio with the intent to move to the south! She is a public speaker who empowers students of all ages to go after life full force and whatever has held them back, to use it as their comeback story!
