Jen Bricker

I am always inspired by amazing athletes.

Everything Is Possible (Even Without Legs)

Partly because I know what it takes to achieve real greatness in athletics.

But also because I respect the mindset that athletes develop to reach their goals.

I recently met an athlete who blew me away both in her physical abilities and her mental attitude.

Jen Bricker was born without legs and her parents left her at the hospital, assuming someone would take care of her.

But that hasn’t set her back one bit.

She played several sports all through school, fell in love with gymnastics, and has become a top aerialist performer, touring the world.

This is just one part of her incredible story.

I absolutely loved talking to Jen about how her adoptive parents instilled a positive, can-do attitude in her from the beginning and how she continues to live a full, inspiring life as a result.

Get ready for some powerful moments as you listen to Jen Bricker tell her story in Episode 383 on The School of Greatness.
