What would you do if you had a successful track and field career, were on target to make the national team, but came up just shy of a spot at the Olympic trials? Most people would call it quits. But most people aren't Simidele Adeagbo. In today's episode, you'll meet a Nigerian-Canadian woman who became Africa's first athlete in the sport of skeleton at the 2018 Olympics. You'll hear how Simi managed a successful career in corporate marketing while training up to 7 hours a day, what happened when an unexpected opportunity arose for her to realize her dream of being an Olympian, and why a belief in yourself — and not what others think about you - is crucial to achieving your goals.
