Billy Bridges and Sami Jo Small on teamwork

It’s A Winning Mindset first as we are joined by Canadian husband-and-wife duo Billy Bridges and Sami Jo Small to discuss how teamwork and how they support one another to achieve their goals.

Billy (a Paralympian) and Sami (an Olympian) tell the stories of what makes their relationship so strong and explore the need for everyone to have a support group they can rely on in life.

The duo discuss the teamwork in life which brings the best out of each other, analysing why it is important to them and the skills we can all apply to our daily lives.

A Winning Mindset, an award-winning partnership between the International Paralympic Committee and Allianz, is a fascinating journey into the minds of Paralympians, who share experiences that can benefit your own personal and professional life.
