Education


Welcome to the Level Up Your Life podcast hosted by the awe-inspiring, motivating, and passionate Mark Black. As a double transplant survivor Mark has a different take on life. Mark cares about helping you get to the next level in all areas of life, work, home, mental, physical and emotional.  In this episode, Mark interviews Olympian, speaker, and founder of the Believe initiative, Sarah Wells.As a hurdler, Sarah is no stranger to overcoming obstacles. Before finding the sport of track and field, Sarah was cut from every high school team she tried out for. It was thanks to a teacher who suggested she try running - that teacher believed in her before Sarah ever did. Together that teacher and her became coach and athlete and made the Olympics together just a decade later. Beyond athletics, what Sarah is obsessed with is storytelling. Sarah wants to be able to tell the story of resilience and how you can truly make an impact in the world. She wants to inspire people to pursue excellence, and she understands that not everyone is going to have that high school teacher to believe in them, so she hopes to be that person for as many people as possible. After speaking all over North America to thousands of people, Sarah is encouraged to continue this work as she sees the impact it can make in schools and organizations. In this episode, Sarah talks about how she overcome setbacks in her athletic career and re-invented herself to pursue new and exciting goals in her life after sport.
