An Unlikely Champion | Lisa Bentley | TEDxEustis

In this talk, recorded at TEDxEustis in January 2019, 11-time IRONMAN Champion Lisa Bentley details her drive to rise to the top of the Triathlon world while hiding her lifelong experience with cystic fibrosis, a life-threatening genetic lung disease which should have shortened her life and left her unable to compete. Lisa Bentley raced for 20 years as a professional triathlete, winning 11 Ironman and 16 Ironman 70.3 events. During that time, she learned and lived the tactics for being a champion whether in sport, business or life. But Lisa was the most unlikely champion. She has cystic fibrosis, a life-threatening genetic lung disease. But she turned cystic fibrosis into a gift and found a way to squash her genetic blueprint with a sturdy work ethic, fierce desire, clear goals and an unwavering belief in self. Now she help others learn how to win in life and how to be the best they can be with the cards they’ve been dealt. Lisa has a honors Math, Computer Science and Teaching degree and splits her time between Clermont, Florida and Caledon, Ontario, Canada. She has been inducted into the Triathlon Canada Hall of Fame and has recently authored her first book, An Unlikely Champion.
