Danelle Umstead
Danelle Umstead's father first introduced her to adaptive skiing in their home state of New Mexico when she was 29 in 2000. She fell in love with the sport right away. In 2010, shortly after winning two bronze medals at the Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada, she found out that she also has multiple sclerosis. That did not slow her down. Through skiing, she found healing, her husband and a lifetime of high-speed adventure. During her presentation, delivered with powerful storytelling, Umstead touches on overcoming adversity, teamwork, communication and elite performance.
