Adina O'Neill is a fitness coach and motivator.
This former accountant and teacher found her passion in endurance sports and coaching when she realized that so many were coming to her for advice and inspiration.
Team B-REAL, is a roster of endurance athletes where every BODY is accepted.
She is motivational and inspiring, but her own side passion is what made me go, "Oh, I could NEVER do that!"
Adina LOVES cold water swimming. And by cold water swimming, I mean, breaking open a frozen lake in the middle of New England in February and jumping in right away kinda swimming.
Yes, my friends, there is even such a thing as a winter swim festival where you walk out into the middle of a frozen lake, submerge in 30-degree water without a wetsuit, and compete against others in 25s, 50s, 100s…It is Un-freaking-believable.
So, yeah, I had to learn more and that's what today is all about. We get real about her personal journey, about the imposter syndrome of coaching others, and the overwhelming sense of pride she receives watching others succeed.
Mostly, though, we discuss her passion for cold water swimming and the unexpected joy it has brought to her life.
