August 11th 2022 Connor Fields announces he's retiring from BMX. He says it was a difficult decision to make. He says literally his career ended on a body board. He suffered a traumatic head injury during the Tokyo Olympics from a crash. Connor told me it's not the way he envisioned the way his career would end. He said there was a moment he considered coming back for one more race. In the end he decided the good didn't outweigh the bad. So, Connor decided it was time to move on with life. The three time Olympian says he learned multiple life lessons from sport. He says he's able to use those lessons in his daily life now. A few of those traits he uses daily are discipline and focus. At the moment he's working as the host of "Outdoor Nevada." The show is on the PBS station in Nevada. He says it covers various topics like a waterfalls, old abandon ghost towns to mountain biking . Connor says they shoot for a three month period all over the great state of Nevada. He also is working as an agent, doing some public speaking and coaching. On an elite level he's working with young pro Joey Leto. Connor says BMX came naturally to him. He won Grands in his first year. He says he was all skill till 18-19 years old. He then was able to build that power to balance things out. As an amateur he won two NAG titles plus a NAG title in cruiser. Before he even turned pro he won a World Cup at 16 years old. At the moment Fields says his sponsors, Chase Bicycles to Monster Energy drink continue to support him. Plus he's still working out to stay fit.

Ever wondered what it takes to win a gold medal at the Olympics? Our guest today is the first American to win an Olympic BMX Gold. Phenomenal, right? Today we're diving into his life and his journey that started with his introduction to the sport of BMX. To the mistakes that cost him his first shot at an Olympic medal. To when Connor went on to win the Gold in the next Olympics in 2016. Connor wanted to repeat as Olympic gold medalist, but he suffered a devastating crash at Tokyo Olympics 2020 that led to his retirement from competitive BMX riding. Now, he has become an acclaimed motivational keynote speaker and peak-performance strategist. Quite a ride isn't it? I assure you it is.

Connor Fields, Olympic BMX gold-medalist Connor opens the curtains to a rarely seen experience of what it takes to win sport's greatest prize and overcome adversity. While he won Gold in 2016 in Rio, his 2021 crash in Tokyo is on record as the worst summer Olympic injury in 2 decades. Yet, despite this near death experience and disappointment, Connor is now on a journey of recovery and self-discovery that he openly shares. Listeners see behind the usually closed doors of the route to Olympic gold medal and enjoy a roller coaster of emotions while learning skills to improve performance in business, relationships, and life. From "choking" at the 2012 Olympics to winning the Gold in 2016 - what changed Connor was the first American to win an Olympic BMX Gold. He also represented the United States at the London 2012 Summer Olympics, coming in seventh overall. During the semifinals of the postponed Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics BMX event, Connor crashed with a fellow racer and suffered brain shearing and bleeding, a broken rib, a collapsed lung, and needed intubation to breathe. His competitive nature helped him confront months of recovery and therapy after which Connor chose not to return to competitive sports. Instead, he has now decided to share with others his passion for overcoming adversity and achieving success. He is a much sought after motivational speaker Connor can be reached at www.connorfields.com A bit about me (Dr. Orest Komarnyckyj): Dr. Orest Komarnyckyj enjoyed a prestigious career as a periodontal regenerative surgeon moving to a new passion in June 2018.

We also talk about participation numbers in the US, some of the things Tyler has got going on at the moment, Vet Pro talk, Connor Fields, social media and more. Check it out.
This week Connor Fields & Checkerz join with their thoughts on Justin Bogle's response to the Barcia incident, what show 500 will bring, was Chase's ghost ride ok, and their Top 5 Co-host list.
We had the GOAT of BMX Racing on the show, Connor Fields is very much involved in the Moto industry, and in the future, he will be much more involved. We discussed his recovery after a TBI at the Tokyo Olympics, USADA, and much more.
All of our TKFLASTANIS are very dear to us, but Citizen #1 will have a special place in our hearts. Bobsledder Josh Williamson, winner of the first season of Team USA's "The Next Olympic Hopeful" was our first interviewee, and now he returns, on the cusp of fulfilling his "Next Olympic Hopeful" goals and making it to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. We catch up with Josh and learn how he's approaching this season, what it's like to become a veteran in the sport, and what the bobsled track at Beijing is like (POV video here). Follow Josh on Twitter and Insta In our history moment on Atlanta 1996, Alison dives into maybe the most controversial phrase that came out of Juan Antonio Samaranch's mouth during the Games. Also on tap, we've got news from TKFLASTAN, including updates on Evan Dunfee, Dawn Harper Nelson, Connor Fields and Stephanie Roble. In our Beijing 2022 update, the Olympic Flame is officially lit and has traveled to Beijing, though not without controversy. The Torch Relay, of which there are few details, includes the inspiring slogan "Health, Joy and Energy." Alison is not impressed by Jill's attempts to spruce that up. And we have news from Milan-Cortina 2026, in which we are completely unsurprised to learn of venue changes due to cost containment needs. The Games aren't even for another 4+ years, but maybe it's a good thing that they've figured this out now. Thanks so much for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive!

Kyle Jackson kicks off our guest list (18:50-55:34) as he gives insight on what it takes to win a championship, the experience this Chaos roster has in title games that nobody's talking about, and of course we talk about his incredibly adorable daughter who has become the face of Chaos LC. Then the guys are joined by Ian MacKay (1:13:27-1:52:51) and you know we had to bring up the "Connor Fields trade", how Ian has transitioned to the SSDM position, the pre-championship anxiousness, and what his expectations are heading into D.C. as his squad takes on the two-time defending champs. Then our mini media day wraps up with the "Trash Man" Jay Carlson (2:06:53-2:30:47) and Jay gives KB his thoughts on playing in a third straight championship game, playing for a title so close to home, if Whipsnakes will be a legacy/dynasty if they pull off the win, playing with Zed Williams, and so much more.

I'm from Upstate NY so I'm naturally a big Connor Fields fan. When he found himself on the bench last season I couldn't believe it as the Chaos thrived without him. So in this episode I'm going to dive into the PLL stats a bit to see how this could happen. How could one of the most skilled attack on planet earth have trouble getting on the field in the Premier Lacrosse League. As part, we'll also talk about some geezers in the league that struggled in 2020, but have been playing really tough in 2021, Paul Rabil and Rob Pannell. Both put up stinkers last year, but have been incredible so far this season. We'll also talk about a few PLL rookies. I'll quickly profile Mac O'Keefe (Penn State), Jeff Teat (Cornell) and Jake Carroway (Georgetown). All three were highly touted and each has had a measure of success thus far in 2021.

Connor Fields knew he was going to be a champion at an early age — and as the United States' first Gold Medalist in the BMX event, he accomplished exactly that.

Learn how Connor rose to the top of game in this light, entertaining and incredibly revealing conversation.
