Inspiration from Olympians and Paralympians

I was fortunate to be the emcee of a major announcement for BP’s TeamUSA program.  This program features 9 US Olympians and Paralympians who are vying to make the US Team that will compete in London.

I was able to catch up with a few of them at the BP event in Chicago and ask them questions on what inspires them to compete at the highest levels.  Their responses are recorded for all of us to learn.

I will post one a day over the next five days.

First up is Lolo Jones. Ms. Jones uses failures to fuel her future.  We have heard the old adage that we can fail forward.  Well truly Lolo continues to rise above and plays right into my moniker of “Hurdling Adversity.”

Take a listen in. http://youtu.be/kjB7BcpaSDw
