In this episode of MOPD’s podcast, All Access, we talk with our first professional athlete guest! Kendall Gretsch is a cross-country skier, paratriathlete and biathlete. She has competed in four Paralympic Games and won seven medals, most recently in Paris in 2024 where she won a silver medal in the paratriathlon, and is a current World Paratriathlon Champion. Kendall grew up playing sports in Downer’s Grove, Illinois and was introduced to paratriathlon in college through the group Dare to Tri. Kendall shares with us what it’s like to train at the professional level, what inspires her to keep working and what it’s like to have family and friends cheer you on to Olympic greatness.
