Amelia White was just 18 years old when she was the victim of a traumatic car accident that changed her entire life. A university student and active eventer, Amelia suddenly found herself out of school, out of the saddle, and in ongoing surgeries. Despite doctors’ best efforts, Amelia was left with a permanent disability that required her to change her goals and aspirations.
In this inspiring episode, Amelia sits down with Caroline and reflects on her journey that took her from lying in a hospital bed, to achieving her Master’s, to trotting down the centerline at the Paralympic Games.
Amelia’s ambition, sense of humor, and dedication are nothing short of extraordinary, and you won’t want to miss her insights on:
-
How focusing on what you can control can help you through traumatic or difficult times.
-
Why mental health detriments may come years after an accident.
-
Her initial resistance to becoming a para-rider.
-
Why Olympic success does not guarantee an easier path.
-
How to balance a career with your equestrian ambitions.
-
What personal sacrifices it takes to make it to the top.
