How Failure Got Me to the Olympics | Kate Hansen | TEDxBYU

Kate Hansen’s story is about overcoming mind games and self-doubts. She embraced the struggle of becoming an Olympic athlete in luge, an unlikely sport for a Southern California girl who loves to surf and hates the cold. Kate made the most of what was literally a crippling setback. What’s ironic is that Kate isn’t remembered for being one of the best lugers in the world—she’s remembered for the person she is, and for the positive and lighthearted person she chose to be at the Olympic games.
Kate Hansen is a luge athlete, wannabe dancer, and world traveler. She competed for seven years around the world and her last stop was in Sochi, Russia at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. She is currently attending college at Brigham Young University where she studies public relations and business. She loves skiing, people, and making fun of herself.
