Epic Fitness Wellness Corner - What I Learned in Bobsled That Changed My Life (Part 1, Part 2)By: Ben Fogel Part 1: Many of you probably were not aware that in a previous life (at the tender age of 23!) I tried out and made the US National Bobsled Team. I went on to compete for 7 years in multiple World Cup races and even in World Championships in 2005 helping our team to a top 10 ranking in the world at that time. Recently, I started reading through a lot of my journal entries during my travels all over the world with the bobsled team, and I realized that so much of the success and failures that happened to me in that sport really put me on the fast track to where I am now. So I wanted to share more of my story and what I learned almost 20 years ago which has helped me become a better husband, father, business owner, leader, teammate and friend. **SPOILER ALERT** This is longer than my normal read but I promise you’ll get some great takeaways which anyone could use and take action on. It was May 2003, I was just about to graduate from college and to be honest, I had NO IDEA what I wanted to do. I was in a place in my life where I was not ready to enter the “real world.” My definition of the “real world” at the time was entering the workforce, or having a 9-5 job, and actual responsibilities. To be candid, being a full time student-athlete had a ton of responsibilities but “showing up” every day to get better physically was easy for me, and I just wanted to do more of that. I wanted to continue to compete as an athlete. I also knew that continuing on that path could delay my “real world” responsibilities of a 9-5 job for a little bit longer, which at the time, I was ok with. Part 2: In part one, I discussed a lot about the actions I took to make the obscure switch to the sport of Bobsled, and a few of the lessons I learned along the way (Find Part 1 of this blog here). In part 2, I am excited to share stories from “on and off the ice” and continue to share lessons learned where I transformed the most from over the course of my athletic and business career. Ok, where was I? It was June, 2003 and I had just completed my first Bobsled combine. After the combine, they gave you a scoring sheet and you could chart your score and figure out your total based on the 600 point maximum score (6 scored criteria, 100 points each). I distinctly remember my score was 512 – An average of around 85 points per event. My friend and college track teammate scored a 486, so it was now official – I won that $100 bet! I remember the coaches said they would email or call us and notify us if we did good enough to make it to the next level and fly out to Lake Placid, NY to learn how to push a Bobsled. July, 2003 About one month later, I got the call. It was the head coach inviting me to come out to Lake Placid for a 2 week Bobsled camp. I was literally just finishing up my degree at school with 2 internships, and I remember begging my instructor to be able to leave 1 week early so I could make this camp, and still graduate. The begging paid off, and I packed up to get ready to travel to New York for the first time. |
