EP52 The Force Within - From Police Officer to Paralympian | Carol Cooke

Strength.  Courage.  Determination.  Resilience.  Spirit.These words above, belong to Carol Cooke.Former Toronto Police Officer of 14 years, Carol Cook crossed the globe to call Melbourne, Australia home. All in the name of love. Carol shares with us the adventures along the way, what drew her in and out of a life in the police force and the all too many all to brutally delivered hurdles that she sure didn’t let stand in her way of holding a gold medal in her hand.The accolades are to many to list here, I'd rather you get stuck into conversation... but in a nutshell, Carol is an elite athlete across three different sports.  A Paralympian, dual gold medalist, world champion.  In 2017 she was awarded Victorian Institute of Sport – The Award of Excellence.  She continued to race with another 2 World Championships in 2019.  Dead set legend.If listening in on this conversation doesn't evoke a little ignition of those 5 words above within you, I'm convinced nothing will.  I sure felt an unexpected level of inspiration myself whilst shooting the breeze with Carol.  If you’re someone who is sick of being told you won’t make it, lend an ear over here for an hour...Carol Cooke  |  Facebook - @cazcooketheroadahead  |  Instagram - @cazcooke61  |  Twitter - @CazCookeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/carol-cooke-am-paralympian-speaker-author-a728201b/Tiffanee Cook | www.rollwiththepunches.com.au  |  @rollwiththepunches_podcast  |  @tiffaneeandcoEPISODE SPONSOR: AED Authority Australia  |  www.aedauthority.com.au  |  https://www.facebook.com/aedauthorityau  |  @aedauthorityEPISODE SPONSOR: Business Services By Ren | www.bsbr.com.au--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/roll-withthepunches/messageSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
