We’re back to hear Mark’s story from being paralysed at the age of 40 to becoming a world champion and Paralympic Gold Medalist just 3 years later, Mark Colbourne talks us through having to start over, gaining clarity amidst constant confusion, dealing with loss and how to take a setback and turn it into glory.
We ask the following questions:
5. What was going through your mind when you won the gold medal at the 2012 Paralympics?
6. How did that moment compare to everything you’d faced up to that point?
7. What advice would you give to us when it comes to dealing with these obstacles that life throws at us, the emotions and experiences that we must face?
8. How important was your support network during your journey to becoming a Paralympic champion? As students how can we build a strong support system for when we need that extra support?
PLUS A RAPID FIRE ROUND!
Thank you for tuning in and I hope you enjoyed the episode. Don't forget to rate us 5 stars please (so other students like yourself can find us more easily😊)
