Highlights From My Chat with Kevin Rempel

Are you facing some challenges at present?

Let’s see if we can help you today by speaking with my guest today, Kevin Rempel is a Canadian sledge hockey player, who has faced more than his fair share of challenges, including being told he may never walk again after a motocross accident as well as a family tragedy.

Despite this, he became a World Champion in 2013 and a Sochi Paralympic bronze medallist in 2014.

He’s also an author, motivational speaker, and hero to many.

He's turned his adversities into advantages, creating a legacy of resilience and determination.

• After his motocross accident, Kevin faced many challenges. However, he’d seen the example he didn’t want to follow in his father, who was paralyzed several years previously and sadly took his own lie.
  • He also wanted to be like the heroes he looked up to and have a comeback story.
• Sledge hockey is an adaptation of ice hockey that’s played sitting down.
  • Kevin says he’s been able to live out his motocross dreams through sledge hockey
• It took motivation, discipline, and focusing on building the right habits to play at his level
  • Kevin focused on:
    • Being a hero for himself
    • Showing up for his team
    • Remembering that he and the team were there to show up for Canada
  • This helped him focus on the big goals, shaping his mindset one step and one day at a time, despite setbacks
• Mindset is something that Kein believes can help overcome challenges.
• He finds it important to be on stage as a speaker and author, finding meaning and purpose in helping others face their own challenges and develop a resilient mindset.
• Asking for help is vital, and it takes three steps:
  • Admit
  • Ask
