Synopsis
Discover the power of perseverance and the extraordinary potential within yourself in Dare to Dream: The Road to Kona.
As an unlikely athlete born with pigeon-toes, Wade Wilson had a dream to become an elite athlete. With unwavering support from his wife and kids, he sets off to discover the world of triathlons at the age of 39. Over the next six years, Wade navigates the hurdles of any working father, parsing out his workouts in between job duties and family commitments. When faced with setbacks, he perseveres with a steadfast tenacity to succeed. He finally reached his goal to compete at the IRONMAN® Triathlon World Championship race in Kona, Hawaii when he was 46.
With candid insights and inspiring reflections, Wilson reveals that greatness doesn’t require extraordinary talent—just unwavering desire, a solid plan, and relentless willpower. From navigating setbacks to overcoming self-doubt, Wade shows how resilience and the support of a strong team can propel anyone toward success.
Dare to Dream is a testament to the triumphs that come from persistence and courage. Start small, think big, and let your dreams soar.
About the Author
Wade Wilson has a passion for pursuing his dreams and interests, some of which he has talents for and some not so much. He loves to challenge himself, and the bigger the dream the better. His goal is when God calls him home that he will have nothing left on his bucket list that he is healthy enough to pursue.
Wade’s other interests include studying and teaching God’s word, playing and performing classical guitar music, and traveling with his wife. He has provided motivational and inspirational speeches on his experiences in the sport of triathlon and of having the opportunity to compete on a world stage at the age of forty-six.
Authoring this book was a huge challenge and required all the skills and lessons previously learned about setting and pursuing lofty goals.
