11:15AM - 1:00 PM KEYNOTE LUNCHEON | AMY VAN DYKEN

THE WILL TO WIN : OVERCOMING THE " IMPOSSIBLE "
Since childhood , Amy Van Dyken ’ s mantra has been “ Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do ?” A six-time Olympic gold medal winner , she was already a role model for underdogs everywhere with her debilitating asthma that had her dragged from the pool during several practices and her potentially career-ending shoulder surgeries that occurred between her first and second Olympics .
But it was her life-threatening spinal cord injury in an ATV accident in 2014 , that put her perseverance to the test . With little hope of surviving , and none that she would ever walk again , Amy did survive , and she did walk again . “ I ’ m alive because I ’ m an athlete ,” she said , following her accident . However , it was her “ will to win ” that saved her life . The same attitude that kept her motivated as she struggled to swim a single lap of the pool , set records , and win the world championships , was the very same attitude required after the accident .
In “ The Will to Win ,” Amy Van Dyken discusses the need for relentless motivation and overcoming the limits and restraints others put on you – whether it be a coach , a friend , an adversary , yourself , or even your own body . Van Dyken speaks plainly on both the physical and emotional obstacles that she has endured , as well as the emotional coming to terms with her new life and learning to embrace it .
