Apolo Ohno, the most decorated U.S. Winter Olympian in history, will serve as the keynote speaker at this year’s VIPAR Heavy Duty IMPACT Conference.
Apolo Ohno claimed his first major speed skating title at the US Championships at the age of 14 – after just six months of training. Over the next decade and a half, he went from child prodigy to the most decorated US Winter Olympian in history, a title he still holds, earning eight Olympic medals in short-track speed skating across the 2002, 2006 and 2010 Winter Games.
Ohno took his understanding of sports psychology and his personal experience with success and setbacks to develop a resilient and mission-driven approach to life. He is also an author of multiple books based on his experiences, including Hard Pivot: Embrace Change. Find Purpose. Show Up Fully.
As a highly-accomplished and decorated athlete, Ohno has a mental toughness and drive that will serve as an inspiration to anyone who is working to overcome challenges and achieve goals in their personal or professional life.
Ohno will speak at 11:30 a.m. ET, Thursday, Oct. 20, during the event.
