About Brant
Brant's story includes a Paralympic Games and an Ironman world record. It also includes false starts, hard lessons and plenty of days when motivation did not show up.
Being born without a leg did not hand Brant a ready-made lesson in resilience. He had to build one through sport, work and the repeated experience of getting things wrong.
The Paralympic Games and the Ironman record are proof of what sustained work can create. They are not the whole story. The missed goals, poor choices and hard resets are where many of the useful lessons came from.
That is what Brant brings into a room. He does not ask people to copy an athlete's life. He helps them see their own choices more clearly, then act on what they can control.
The beginning
Brant was born without his right leg above the knee. There was no neat roadmap for what came next. He learned early to test assumptions, work with what he had and keep moving when the first plan failed.
Rio 2016
Brant represented Australia in triathlon at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games. Getting there took years of training, setbacks and choices that rarely make the highlight reel.
11:49:20
After Rio, Brant rebuilt the goal. He completed a full Ironman in 11 hours, 49 minutes and 20 seconds, the fastest time recorded by an above-knee amputee.
Today
Brant now speaks, facilitates team programs and coaches leaders. He also works in para talent identification and pathways at the Western Australian Institute of Sport.
