Cheyenne Meyer: Navigating Adversity by Redefining Her Identity
Description
While doing her last bike ride before the USA Triathlon National Championship, Cheyenne Meyer made a left hand turn and was suddenly hit by a car. She flew from her bike and broke her pelvis, sternum, sacrum, left shoulder, and suffered a brain contusion. In an instant her dream of becoming a national champion was taken from her. However, having a champion's spirit is not contingent on winning a championship.
Since her accident Cheyenne has committed herself to a life of service. Today, Cheyenne's life revolves her work as a guide for athletes with disabilities, including people from the Blind and Deaf communities, competing with them in triathlons and several other sports. Cheyenne not only acts as guide during competitions, but she is involved with two non-profits which help fund the para-athlete community.
If you're looking for an episode to help you tap into your inner champion, this is the episode for you.
