New Zealand windsurfing icon Barbara Kendall won Olympic gold in 1992 — the first Kiwi woman to win gold in any sport in more than 40 years, and only the second woman ever to do so. She is a 5x Olympian with 25 national titles and 11 world championship medals. She was also the first woman inducted into the world Sailing Hall of Fame.
In this episode, Barbara talks about:
- The impact of nearly dying on a yacht with her entire family
- How we can better set young people up for success
- The specific characteristics that made her coaches so outstanding
