The Rep Your Story Podcast LVLS Sportswear

As we close out season 3 of this podcast, I am super excited to share this remarkable and inspiring story of a female boxer out of England whose name is Nicola Adams.

Growing up with an abusive father, Nicola found boxing as a means of defending and protecting herself and her mother from more violence.

From overcoming gender inequalities in her early career to becoming the first double Olympic gold medalist in boxing and finishing her professional career with an undefeated record, Nicola Adams has played a pivotal role in propelling female boxing to what it is today.

So, hit that play button and let’s end Season 3 by diving in to the LVLS of Nicola Adams’ story.

There are a lot of things that the average person takes for granted. When you go to tie your shoes, when you swing a bat, or when you throw and catch a ball, these are all actions that are typically performed with two hands.



Well today’s episode is about an athlete that didn’t just learn how to do each of these actions with one hand, he excelled at them, even at the professional level.



Jim Abbott was born without his right hand, but that didn’t stop him from proving skeptics wrong at every stage of his career, all while devoting countless hours to give back and inspire younger generations with disabilities to chase their dreams as well.

So far on this podcast, we’ve discussed athletes whose stories began with broken homes, physical impairments, financial struggles, and issues with the law, but today’s episode is about an athlete who experienced something entirely different.

Well there’s a pretty inspiring and impactful story behind those tears and it starts with a kid bouncing around homeless shelters who ends up making it to the NFL, breaking a few records along the way.

This episode, we’re going to be talking about a powerful and impactful woman who, during the 1960’s, was referred to as "the fastest woman in history."
