BE BRAVECara Stawicki – World Champion Athlete, High-Performance Coach, & Owner of Be Brave
In this episode, we sit down with Cara Stawicki, a remarkable world champion athlete, high-performance and leadership coach, and passionate founder of Be Brave. From her beginnings in the pool, growing up in an active family, Cara's love for sport and dedication has taken her to the top as a World Champion Rower.
Cara shares her inspiring journey of overcoming confidence and belonging challenges that many athletes face. Despite knowing she "had what it takes," she often fell short—until she started working with her own high-performance coach. That transformative experience helped her sharpen focus, build trust in herself, and let her skills shine.
As a coach, Cara emphasizes that the chief visionary in any athlete's journey is themselves. She encourages athletes to get in touch with their inner voice and to ask a fundamental question: "What is your vision of success?" Understanding personal and team values is critical—these core values serve as the foundation, grounding athletes and serving as their North Star.
Key Takeaways:
Do a values assessment and take it seriously—spend quality time working through this process.
Get clear and intentional about your support team—ideally 3 to 4 people who genuinely have your back.
Join us as Cara shares her insights on unlocking your potential, leading with purpose, and creating a pathway to success both on and off the field.
