As a child, she was a competitive and active tomboy, running, biking, and finding her stride on the track. Known as “Super Cricket” for her long legs, she was encouraged by her coach to take on hurdles. Evelyn attended the University of Utah, where she worked as an athletic trainer for the football team and practiced sports massage.

Later, Evelyn became a mother of five and devoted herself to raising her family, stepping away from her athletic identity for more than two decades. Over time, she lost both confidence and physical health, eventually reaching a point where even stepping off her front porch was painful. When her son was scouted as a runner late in high school, Evelyn made a quiet but powerful decision: to support him, she needed to move too. What began as a short walk to the bottom of her front stairs grew into neighborhood walks, then running again after a 24-year break. At 50, Evelyn set a goal to compete in track and field at the Huntsman World Senior Games. She is now a passionate advocate for movement and credits the Games with saving her life.

Through her adulthood, she has enjoyed a variety of outdoor activities, including snow and water skiing, equestrian, windsurfing, and rucking and camping. Action pistol shooting is where she really excelled: Vera has been the national and world titleholder in the sport and won the Bianchi Cup women’s championship eight times. She now competes in shotgun sports, specifically in sporting clay shooting, at the Huntsman World Senior Games.

Vera’s memoirs, “The Most Unlikely Champion” and “Wisdom and Things: Essays from an Unlikely Champion,” share her remarkable journey from China and Hong Kong to the U.S., her family’s entrepreneurial success, and the resilience that carried her through loss, faith, and unexpected triumph. Vera continues to mentor others with the hope that we all discover the “unlikely champion” within ourselves.

Once she could walk again, she learned to run and didn’t stop: competing in track in the Junior Olympics, high school, and college. Margie also competed in high school basketball and volleyball at BYU, but after college, her 45-year love affair with high-level tennis began. A broken arm nine years ago changed everything, however. Too painful to hold a tennis racquet, Margie picked up a pickleball paddle, “just to stay active,” and got completely hooked. Now 70, Margie plays every day, holds her own against athletes in their 20s and 30s, and is a 12-year veteran of the Huntsman World Senior Games with 11 medals in basketball, tennis, and pickleball. Margie has coached high-school tennis state champions, taught at Club Pickleball USA, and raised a sports-loving family of five kids and nineteen grandkids.

As an adult, he loves to play ping pong. However, what gets him out of bed is setting and achieving goals. On January 1, 2022, Trevor challenged himself to complete a grueling 1,000-day "two-a-days" workout challenge, which he proudly accomplished on September 28, 2024. At this point, he chose to continue until the end of the year to achieve a full three years straight! For over 450 consecutive days, he began his mornings with a 10-mile run, and on March 23, 2025, he initiated his pursuit of the Guinness World Record for the most consecutive days running a half marathon.

Additionally, Trevor is an entrepreneur, motivational speaker, CEO of Real Business Owners Mastermind, and host of the Real Business Owners podcast, with over 2 million downloads and counting. He loves spending his evenings supporting his kids in their goals, and Trevor believes that discipline, resilience, and personal growth are the foundation of a fulfilled life.

In this episode Matt describes what happened after a second car accident derailed his progress from the previous 15 years of recovery. He thrives in serving others in many ways, including through his organization St. George Adaptive Sports.

Matt Blanchard is a Utah-based motivational speaker, devoted husband, and proud father of three. His journey is one of resilience, redemption, and the belief that life happens for him, not to him. In 2006, a rollover accident left Matt paralyzed from the waist down with a T-12 total spinal cord injury. Through relentless determination and daily therapy over a span of 15 years, he defied the odds and learned to walk again.

Even beyond the physical challenges that the accident had imposed, Matt had other mountains to climb in his recovery. He struggled with an opiate addiction, which he overcame—only to face another life-altering moment in 2021 when a head-on collision with a drunk driver resulted in another spinal injury and broken bones that erased all the physical progress he had made since the previous accident. Yet, Matt views paralysis as a gift, shaping him into the man he was meant to be. As the founder of St. George Adaptive Sports, he empowers individuals with disabilities through recreation. A sought-after speaker, Matt inspires others to "DIG IN, DIG DEEP, and GET IT DONE."

Five National Games and two Huntsman World Senior Games later, Paula’s pursuit of being her very best came to a screeching halt when a speeding driver nearly killed her.

Michelle eventually switched to racewalking, qualifying for the U.S. Nationals in 1989 and finishing 10th.

After having her first child in 1990, Michelle focused on racewalking, becoming a three-time U.S. Olympian (1992, 1996, 2000), winning 22 national titles, and holding every American record from 3k to 30k simultaneously. She retired in 2004 to focus on family and home-schooling, but in 2018, she returned to running, winning the 800m at the Master's Championships.

In 2022, Michelle set multiple American records in distances from 800m to 10k. A concussion in April of 2023 led her back to racewalking, but it took until December for her to recover to full, healthy training. 2024 has been a monumental year where she capped the year by winning four golds at the World Championships and Pan Am Games, setting nine American records and three world records. This mother of five recently became a grandmother at the age of 58 and qualified for the Olympic Trials. She finished third, and though she did not compete in the Paris Olympics, it was the most widely publicized event from the trials.

At 335 pounds, Sue Reynolds couldn’t walk a block, fit in a restaurant booth, or even tie her own shoes. After failing one diet after another, she tried to lose weight one more time, but this time she had a secret daydream - to finish a triathlon. That secret daydream gave purpose to her dieting and exercise, and she lost 200 pounds, finished her first triathlon (dead last), and fell in love with swim, bike and run. Along the way, she discovered an athlete and competitive spirit had been hiding inside her body all along. Three years after completing her first triathlon in last place, Sue finished sixth in the world (and first American) at the World Triathlon Championship!
