Five-time Paralympian Charlotte Henshaw has made an incredible journey from swimming to paracanoeing. In this episode, Charlotte shares her experiences of overcoming adversity, including the amputation of both of her legs at a very young age.
Join us as we delve into Charlotte's amazing athletic career, including her swimming silver medal at the London 2012 Paralympics, her transition to canoeing, and her recent triumphs at the Tokyo 2021 and Paris 2024 Games, where she made history by winning double gold.
Charlotte discusses the importance of mindset in sports, the role of sports psychology, and how focusing on the process rather than the outcome has transformed her approach to competition. She also opens up about her struggles with endometriosis and advocates for better representation and understanding of women's health issues in sports.
