Author Information

Josh Pauls is one of only three athletes in the world to have three Paralympic gold medals in sled hockey. Josh has been named Best Defenseman in both the World Championships and the Pan Pacific Games, and was the youngest team captain in US National Sled Hockey Team history. Starting on the National Team at age fifteen, Josh Pauls learned to interact with his much older teammates and had to acknowledge he was the least experienced one on the team. Since then, Josh has become the player the team relies on to play a lot, score points, and lead the team as captain. Josh Pauls' unique perspective results from the variety of roles he has held in the sport of sled hockey and gives him the ability to relate his experiences with humor and wisdom as a motivational speaker to large and diverse audiences on a range of topics from leadership to being a team player. Josh Pauls currently resides in St. Louis, Missouri with his girlfriend, Katie.
