Episode 7: Dream Crazy

In this episode we talk with Olympic steeplechase athlete Courtney Wayment on her unlikely path to fulfilling a childhood dream. The former BYU All-American was the youngest child of two talented runners, but she wasn’t sure running was her sport until late in her high school career. She talks about her dad’s reverse psychology that made her want to embrace the sport her siblings rejected, how her high school coach Corbin Talley helped her find her path, how BYU coach Diljeet Taylor inspires her to ‘dream crazy’. She said Talley recommended this month’s book - Boys in the Boat - to her, and it helped her navigate painful personal challenges as she trained and competed to make the U.S. Olympic team in 2024.
