Rising to the top of any sport takes talent, grit, determination, and a sickening amount of work. Kelly has done this in multiple sports, all whilst living with the diagnosis of type one diabetes.

Join us on this podcast as we discuss the highs and lows of Kelly’s life; from diagnosis at age 5, to becoming an ice hockey world champ, competing in the CrossFit Games, and winning USA weightlifting nationals.

It hasn’t all been smooth sailing, as much of this was accomplished in less than ideal circumstances, battling spiking and tanking blood sugar levels. Nevertheless, Kelly found a way to manage the circumstances and excel.
