While nearly everyone in the world has their own perspective on sports, Lina Taylor viewed them as a ticket to a better life. Born in Bulgaria in 1975, Taylor could not leave the communist-led nation unless she had very special circumstances. But at age 16, both her exceptional volleyball talent and her indomitable spirit propelled her to the pinnacle of the sport. Representing Bulgaria for Beach Volleyball in both the 2000 Sydney and 2004 Athens Olympic games, Taylor’s life was changed by sport. Years later, she is using sport to change the lives of others, helping young athletes in organizations like the Boys and Girls Club or The Foundation of Teamwork nonprofit. In this episode, Taylor recounts her childhood in Bulgaria, her volleyball career, and how she helps corporate leaders learn from her journey and take their game to the next level.
