The World’s Fastest Blind Man on Not Fearing the Unknown, with David R. Brown

META PERFORMANCE SHOW | Three-time Paralympian David R. Brown talks with us about winning Gold in the 100 meter event at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Brazil and becoming the fastest blind sprinter in the world. After losing his sight at age 13, David overcame the subsequent fear and depression by focusing his energy on his incredible physical abilities, rather than disabilities, and giving himself motivational pep talks under his breath while competing. David shares why he feels good every time another runner beats his time and describes the fascinating mechanics of racing while tethered to a guide runner and synchronizing their steps at record-breaking speeds. While David continues his Track and Field training in preparation for the 2024 Paris Games, he also runs a motivational speaking business and has begun competing in soccer (a.k.a. 5-a-side Football).
