Katie Krauska, junior in college, was a high performing athlete with big plans. She talks about how those plans changed and how she returned to the sport she loves, with a new outlook.
Courageous Wordsmith Podcast is back with a new name and new image, but the same spirit. In a similar way, Katie Krauska was a dedicated, high performing sailor who shifted her attention (and passion) to cycling. When she suffered a major setback, she had to rethink her approach not only to athletic performance, but every aspect of her life. Her story of resilience offers a fitting reintroduction to Courageous Wordsmith Podcast.
A former Spanish student of mine, Katie is a cyclist competing in gravel, road, and mountain bike races. She's also an undergrad at UW-Madison studying biochemistry and computer science. She likes taking on hard things (like a 100 mi race) and solving the puzzles of how to get to the finish line.
