Summary

With the Olympic Games lighting up Paris, we're thrilled to rebroadcast an unforgettable episode featuring a true legend — Greg Louganis, the greatest diver of all time. Join Eva Karpman as she dives into an inspiring conversation with the four-time Olympic champion who has set the gold standard in the world of diving. https://dreambigpodcast.com/419

Greg Louganis' journey to greatness began at the 1976 Montreal Games, where he claimed silver in the 10m platform at just 16. Despite the heartbreak of the 1980 Moscow Games boycott, Greg's resilience and unmatched skill led him to double gold at the 1984 Los Angeles Games, a feat he repeated at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. His story is one of perseverance, triumph, and breaking barriers, including his role as a trailblazer in the LGBT community.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • How Greg found his passion for diving.
  • Greg’s strategies for handling bullies and his advice for young dreamers facing similar challenges.
  • The rigorous training schedule and the countless dives that honed his legendary skills.
  • The mindset of an Olympic champion during high-stakes competition.
  • The incredible story behind his courageous comeback after a head injury at the 1988 Olympics.
  • How societal perceptions have evolved and Greg's impact on the LGBT community.
  • What Greg is up to today and his Big Dreams for the future.

Greg Louganis' story is a testament to the power of hard work, overcoming obstacles, and never giving up. Whether you're an aspiring athlete, a dreamer, or simply love a story of human spirit and resilience, this episode is packed with inspiration and life lessons.
