IV 012 | Jake Montgomery
Today’e episode is a Skype call I recently had with Australian professional Triathlete Jake Montgomery. Jake’s story is one that I am passionate about sharing. Prior to the 2016 70.3 Worlds Championships in Moolooloba on Australia’s Sunshine Coast, Jake was primed to have his breakout race, signaling his arrival on the world stage. Unfortunately he never made it to the startline and the course of his career and life was changed in an instant.
A car turned in front of him and Jake collided with the car at 40km, causing traumatic brain bleeds and a chance that he would never race again. What followed was a mental battle to make it back to the sport he loves. His journey has been rocky and thanks to finding love by chance, his renewed passion has him gunning for an appearance at this year’s 70.3 Worlds in Nice. In Jake’s own words, he has unfinished business.
InnerVoice was created to tell stories like Jake's, so I hope you enjoy his very human, very inspiring tale.
I am extremely grateful that I get to meet and talk to the incredible people who make up the endurance sports industry, be it athletes, brands or you, the InnerVoice community.
