When it comes to unlocking the leader inside, 2-time Olympic medallist Elana Meyers Taylor knows how to set goals and push herself to achieve them. Perhaps this is no surprise to anyone familiar with her achievements in bobsledding, a sport in which Elana says “push is everything.”
As a recent graduate of DeVry University’s Keller Graduate School of Management, having earned her Master’s degree in Business Administration, Elana has taken the concept of push – and leadership – to the next level. Elana’s competitive spirit has helped her advance her winning record. Her athletic career already included a bronze medal for Team USA in women’s bobsled at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver and a silver medal at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. She now reigns as World Champion, since winning the 2015 World Cup bobsleigh title in Women’s Two-Man.
She has also made history as one of the first two women to race against men in a four-man World Cup bobsled competition, a race that has previously been reserved for men’s competition only. She served as pilot for her team, which included three male athletes behind her on the bobsled.
