Yeah. And that's the thing. Skydiving truly is a metaphor for life. 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. Man.
Imagine jumping out of a plane to conquer your fears and find a new lease on life. That's exactly what coach Blu Robinson and skydiving instructor Leon Roullard discuss in this riveting episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast. Leon, who has been passionate about skydiving since his first tandem jump in 1996, shares how this adrenaline-pumping activity can serve as a powerful metaphor for recovery.
He talks about spirituality, setting goals, and the unique experience of skydiving as a way to erase negative thoughts and behaviors. Over the past four years, more than 200 individuals have taken the plunge with Leon's team at Skydive The Wasatch, each emerging with a renewed sense of courage and freedom. Blu and Leon delve into how facing one of life's biggest fears—jumping out of a plane—can mirror the challenges and triumphs of the recovery journey.
They explore the mindset shifts required to overcome addiction and the transformative power of embracing new challenges. Whether you're on a recovery path or simply looking for inspiration to tackle your own fears, this episode offers a fresh perspective on personal growth and resilience.
