5 Days To Invest: Catching Up With Paralympian Lacey Henderson
7 months agoWhen we first met Lacey Henderson, we were instantly blown away by her ambition and character as we listened to and shared her story. She has become an amazing part of HYLETE, not only an inspiration to other female athletes but to our entire community. Lacey embodies everything we look for in an athlete who shares her incredible journey in the hopes that it may inspire others to feel capable of achieving their own goals.
Lacey Henderson was just nine years old when her leg was amputated above the knee in a lifesaving measure after the diagnosis of a rare soft tissue tumor in her knee. It was a tough time for a young girl, but Lacey’s focus wasn’t on the negative. Instead, raised with the mindset that if you want something in life you’ll find a way to make it happen – no matter the odds against you – an energetic and active Lacey didn’t hesitate to take on the toughest of challenges, including highly competitive cheerleading in high school and at the college level for Denver University.
Now, she’s a 2016 Rio Paralympian and the Americas region (both North and South America) record holder in her competition categories for the long jump. She has used her athletic career as a way to launch new and fun conversations that normalize disability and feeling "different." She has hosted her own podcast and web series called "Picked Last in Gym Class," as well as hosting for Microsoft's, “In Culture” podcast with an entire season dedicated to accessibility and what that really means.
While she continues to train for the Tokyo summer games, amidst a Pandemic; she is working on her MBA and directing the conversation now celebrating each person's differences. She truly believes that it is those differences that will ultimately unite us all. Learn what being an athlete means to Lacey, how she's adapted in the last year, and what she does to maintain a positive body image and mental health.

Less Than 2 Weeks To Invest: Women’s Circuit II Cross-Training Shoe

10 Days To Invest: The GRACEDBYGRIT foundation and Scholarship & HYLETE
7 months agoThe GRACEDBYGRIT foundation has made it their mission to develop a new generation of female leaders through programs focused on building GRIT with events, coaching, mentorship, and a collegiate athletics scholarship fund. HYLETE is proud to support the GRACEDBYGRIT foundation by donating 1% of all women's apparel sales to help fund the scholarships awarded to collegiate female athletes. In 2021, they are introducing a new Mentorship Program that provides a place for female athletes to support one another on their athletic and academic journey. 2021 will also see two $5,000 scholarships awarded to collegiate female athletes who have demonstrated GRIT by overcoming obstacles and adversity in their personal lives.
With scholarship applications opening up soon, we sat down with the 2020 GRACEDBYGRIT foundation scholarship winner, Mariana Akins. Find out why she is a true example of what it means to be GRACEDBYGRIT.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your athletic career? What sport do you play?
My name is Mariana Akins, a nineteen-year-old first-year at TCU. I am a loyal, die-hard soccer player and have been playing since I was five years old. I got into soccer only because my older sister played, and my competitive adolescent spirit wanted to copy everything she did. I started out in recreational soccer until they asked me to play competitively at San Diego Soccer Club. Eventually, I moved up to San Diego Surf Soccer Club and now I’m playing Division I collegiate soccer. I couldn’t be happier playing the same sport I grew up with that adapted and changed, just like I did.
How can involvement in sports help female athletes realize their full potential?
Involvement in sports can help females find their voice and inspire others. By being part of the team and playing in front of an audience, players will gain confidence and leadership skills they can carry to other avenues in their life. Once female athletes put in the work and see the results on the field or court, it’ll inspire them to see how hard work can translate in other endeavors.
What did winning the 2020 GRACEDBYGRIT Scholarship mean to you?
I got emotional when the GRACEDBYGRIT Foundation announced I was their scholarship recipient. I’m not one to be acknowledged for my past difficulties, and I’m not used to expressing everything I’ve gone through. When I received the scholarship, it meant that there were people who understand how hard I’ve worked and my determined mindset to make something great out of myself. It was a heartwarming and empowering moment.
