Blind Student's INSANE Paralympic Comeback Story 🥉

141. 'They can drown me, but I'm not being fourth.' That was Evan Wilkerson's mantra in the final meters of his World Championship race. The blind Paralympic swimmer had fought through E. coli at Paris, burned out at nationals, and nearly quit. Then he learned the lesson every parent needs to teach their kids about resilience. This is Part 1 of 3 in my series with Paralympic swimmer and blind college student Evan Wilkerson. In this episode, Evan Wilkerson shares his journey from Paris Paralympics disappointment to World Championship bronze—and the critical lesson about burnout that changed everything. What You'll Learn: ✅ How Evan competed at the Paralympics with severe E. coli ✅ The burnout trap of "outworking every problem" ✅ Why taking breaks makes you stronger, not weaker ✅ How Ouachita Baptist University's creative tapper solution works ✅ The mental game of racing when you can't see your competitors Key Moments: • The tactile details of a World Championship bronze medal with braille • "Your first 50 looked great.
