In Part 2 of my conversation with Team USA bobsled pilot Shane Fisher, we go deeper into the real cost of chasing an Olympic dream—and why mindset alone isn’t enough when the bills keep coming.Shane pulls back the curtain on the financial side of being an elite athlete for Team USA:How little funding most athletes actually receiveThe sacrifices and side jobs required just to stay in the gameThe emotional toll of training like a pro while living without pro-level supportWe also unpack the origin story of the American Paragons Foundation—the organization Shane founded to support underfunded Team USA athletes. He explains how American Paragons helps athletes by:Connecting them with employers who understand the demands of high-level trainingPartnering with media platforms and storytellers (like this podcast) to share their journeysMatching them with mentors who’ve navigated the same pathFinding lodging hosts who can relieve the burden of housing costs while they train and competeIf you’ve ever wondered what it truly takes—mentally, emotionally, and financially—to represent your country on the world stage, this episode will change how you see Olympic hopefuls.Tune in to Part 2 with Shane Fisher to learn how you can support America’s next generation of Olympians and become part of the solution.To learn more about the American Paragons Foundation at americanparagons.orgFor more information about Mental Mettle CoachingContact:  [email protected] a free coaching session with Coach ThomannOrder The Mental Mettle Podcast GearThe Mental Mettle Podcast | Official Gear | BonfireMental Mettle Links
