Alexander Glavatsky Yeadon competed in the 2018 Winter Olympic Games representing Great Britain. What can be summarized in a sentence does little to convey the depth of pain he's had to endure to reach this point.

2014: After being turned away from the Hong Kong Olympic Committee at the age of 19 for not having a local passport, his dreams of competing in the Olympics seemed to have crumbled.

The next Olympic games were 4 years away. In between 2014 and 2018, he suffered 2 ACL tears and was told by professionals that his dreams of competing in the next Olympics were all but dead.

If it were not for his attitude and will to make it happen, we would not be telling this story of triumph today. Xander is a true example of how  dreams are bullet proof in the face of adversity.

Show Notes:
Xander and his partners weren't fond of the track-suit-like outfit that skiing is known for, so they reimagined what high-end skiing could look like with their apparel brand - Saint Valais. You can check out their catalogue and more about their mission here.
