In this profoundly inspiring episode of "The Greg Bennett Show," we sit down with triathlon royalty, Craig Alexander, a three-time Ironman World Champion known affectionately as Crowie. Beyond his legendary status in the world of endurance sports, Craig is a devoted family man, whose recent personal challenges have brought to light the true strength and resilience that define him.
Today, we explore a deeply personal narrative that extends beyond the racecourses and into the heart of his family. Craig opens up about a harrowing ordeal that has profoundly impacted their lives—his son Austin's sudden stroke at just 13 years old during a track event, leading to severe paralysis. This episode delves into the intense emotional and physical journey that followed, highlighting Austin's incredible fight to regain mobility and the family's unwavering support through months of rehabilitation.
Craig shares the profound lessons in resilience and adaptation he's learned through this ordeal, lessons that transcend the discipline of triathlon and speak to the core of human endurance. We discuss the critical role of community support, the therapeutic effects of sports, and how his family has navigated the complexities of recovery with grace and determination.
Whether you're a fan of triathlon, a supporter of overcoming adversity, or someone who cherishes powerful stories of human spirit, this conversation with Craig Alexander offers a compelling look at what it means to endure, adapt, and thrive against the odds. Join us as we uncover the personal side of a sports legend, whose life lessons extend far beyond the finish line.
