I have spent a lifetime at the pool. There are so many stories in swimming. In this show I share a very special show with one of my former swimmers. The photo in this post shows Heather (on the right side) as a kid with her sister on the left (yes that's me in the middle – we are all kids).

Heather went on to have a very successful aquatic sports career in water polo and swimming. After high school, she went to Stanford and competed on the women's water polo team and she also raced for the swim team in a meet or two.

Heather discusses the skills she developed as an athlete and how she uses those skills in her day to day living with cancer.

I need the space to return to myself

~ Heather West, on How She Really Does It

LISTEN HERE In this conversation we discuss:

• Trusting yourself in the process
• Letting go of results
• Being an advocate for self – taking on the coach role
• Being aware of the energy of self and others
• Priorities
• Olympic dedication applied to healing cancer…
• Knowing who you want on your team
• How to support someone with cancer

If you are exposed to something, it makes it easier for you to believe that you could actually do that yourself."
