#124: Kelsey Plum on bouncing back from injury and winning Olympic gold

Recently I was joined by a great friend, Kelsey Plum. Kelsey plays professional basketball for the Las Vegas Aces. After breaking the NCAA Division I women's all-time scoring record, she was drafted #1 overall in the 2017 WNBA draft. She won a gold medal in Women's 3x3 basketball at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, and was named the WNBA Comeback Player of the Year. The list of accolades and accomplishments goes on and on, but the thing the accolades don’t capture is her unbelievable energy, spirit, and enthusiasm for life. ► WATCH Kelsey and Joshua rank San Diego’s best tacos: LINK ► Listen to this conversation on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/46vXCHv9dR7KU1kgYwo3WL?si=2b65e4652ad54b46 ► Listen to this conversation on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/124-kelsey-plum-on-bouncing-back-from-injury-and/id1475360470?i=1000550686866 TIMESTAMPS: 3:36 - most surprising thing about playing in the Olympics and winning a gold medal 8:51 - the mindset of bouncing back from Achilles injury last season 10:30 - understanding “interferences” and how to navigate challenges 12:15 - Kelsey’s morning routine 13:33 - Joshua’s favorite gratitude exercise 16:05 - the advice present Kelsey would give her past self when she was drafted #1 overall 18:50 - the advice future Kelsey has for present Kelsey 22:49 - Kelsey’s perspective on handling pressure 25:42 - what Kelsey is most excited about upcoming in this next chapter | Connect with Kelsey | ► https://www.instagram.com/kelseyplum10/ | More Like This | ► Listen to Sage Burmeister on Find The Others Podcast: https://www.joshuadeanchurch.com/sage-burmeister2 ► Listen to Devon Cajuste on Find The Others Podcast: https://www.joshuadeanchurch.com/devon-cajuste ► Listen to Steve Solomon on Find The Others Podcast: https://www.joshuadeanchurch.com/steve-solomon ► Listen to Kelsey on Find The Others Podcast Episode #013: https://www.joshuadeanchurch.com/kelsey-plum | Listen to the Find The Others Podcast | ►Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/find-the-others/id1475360470 ►Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4HogJDGOuHx08jy6uRJH1m | Connect with Joshua | ►Website: www.joshuadeanchurch.com ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuadeanchurch/ ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshuadeanchurch/ ►Sign up for Newsletter: https://taplink.cc/joshuadeanchurch
