The Burn Podcast by Ben Newman
Loving What We Hate with Ryan Neiswender
Today we have the pleasure of interviewing the inspiring Ryan Neiswender, a paralympic basketball player, on the topic of perseverance, overcoming obstacles, and resilience. Ryan takes us on his journey of embracing who he is, being introduced to paralympic basketball, and developing the mental toughness necessary to succeed in the sport. He shares his experience in Tokyo and feeling alone, while also demonstrating "expectancy theory", where that which you focus on, expands.
Ryan discusses the importance of attacking life one day at a time and breaking things up while still having long-term goals. He explains how vision gives us the motivation to pursue our dreams and how we can all learn from his story of choosing to keep fighting. So tune in and be ready to feel motivated to embrace your true self and chase after your dreams, just like Ryan did!
