Show notes

Kevin Rempel is a 2013 World Champion and 2014 Sochi Paralympic bronze medalist in sledge hockey with an incredible story of overcoming a tremendous amount of adversity.

After a freestyle motocross accident left Kevin an incomplete paraplegic at the age of 23, he was told by doctors he would likely never walk again.

Ironically enough, Kevin's father, Gerry, was also paralyzed just four years earlier after falling from a tree while deer hunting, rendering him a complete paraplegic.

Unfortunately, Gerry soon after took his own life, and though Kevin

considered doing the same thing, he knew that he must take control over his mindset and chose a different path.

Today, Kevin delivers keynote and workshops to corporate audiences helping adopt what he calls, The Hero Mindset, by focusing on small things that make a big difference to become a hero in your own story.

Additionally, Kevin is also a mindset coach who, using a framework called The Hero Mindset Blueprint, helps people with disabilities navigate their career and life transitions.

Kevin is the author of Still Standing: When You Have Every Reason to Give Up, Keep Going, and his story has been featured around the world in media such as CBC, TSN, and BBC Sport.
