The Champion Within

On today's episode of The Champion Within, host Lauren Thompson shares some of the most inspiring stories in sports. We begin on the track where Paralympic athlete Tatyana McFadden has become one of the greatest athletes of our generation. Her hard work, dedication and accomplishments are inspiration enough, but it's her tough road to the top of the podium that shows that you must believe in yourself if you want to be great. We then head to the golf course where friendship is made. Sports are more than just about the game, and these groups of pals prove that nothing is more important than friendship. We then head to the rugby field where phenom Junior Waqavesi is making a name for himself. With the help of veteran teammates, Waqavesi is quickly becoming one of the best young rugby players on the planet. Plus, we hear the inspiring story of Max Jacobson. This young athlete was met with adversity before he was even a teenager, when he was diagnosed with a heart condition. But Max never flinched, and his bravery got him and his family through some of the scariest times.
