The changes that I've seen in people that come through, whether it's just a tandem or going on to be a solo skydiver is just absolutely phenomenal.
Imagine taking a leap out of an airplane and finding not just the thrill of freefall but also a pathway to personal recovery. In this episode of the 'Addict II Athlete Podcast', Coach Blu sits down with Leon Roullard, the passionate owner and skydive instructor from Skydive The Wasatch. Leon’s journey began with his first tandem skydive in 1996, and since then, he has dedicated his life to sharing the magic of flight with others.
But this episode isn't just about skydiving; it's about how confronting one of the biggest fears can lead to profound personal growth and recovery. Leon and Blu discuss the powerful metaphors between skydiving and life’s challenges, touching on spirituality, goal-setting, and the importance of a positive mindset. A few years ago, Leon was approached by a recovery coach from Addict II Athlete to hold an event that would help participants erase negative thoughts and behaviors by skydiving.
Now, four years later, over 200 individuals have taken the plunge with Leon and his team, many walking away feeling reborn and free from past burdens. When he's not diving from planes, Leon enjoys running, skiing, and flying through the Wasatch with his wife and dog. This episode is perfect for anyone looking for an inspiring story of courage, freedom, and the transformative power of facing one's fears head-on.
