Episode 93: Sarah Gott and Sandy Holbrook James - Exploring Female Empowerment and Going on a Journey to Excellence (and Kona)

Two Purple Patch athletes, Sandy Holbrook James and Sarah Gott, share their journeys of integrating multisport into their time-starved lives and how they both transformed from recreational athletes to Kona qualifiers!

They get intimate and vulnerable speaking about how they balance their training schedules with respective careers, spouses, children's activities, and family obligations.

In the course of working with a 1:1 Purple Patch coach, both have gotten faster, stronger, happier and, ultimately, more relaxed. They literally enjoy the sport more, which, in a seemingly unconventional way, led to a Kona qualification for both this year! This message is empowering for all, but especially for women who struggle with "fitting it all in."

Through camps, coaching, and consistency, both Sandy and Sarah have both overcome preconceived notions that they even had of themselves and have used that motivation to succeed in triathlon far beyond what they could've imagined even just a few years ago.

Their words of advice will, no doubt, ring true for time-starved and family-oriented athletes everywhere, but especially women nearing that arbitrary "middle-age" mark who may assume their best days are behind. Not so...Not so at all.
