A Canadian sports hero, Mark Tewksbury is a three-time Olympian and four-time world record holder. Now a leading motivational speaker and media figure, Tewksbury offers a message as simple and powerful as a slicing backstroke in Inside Out—his own personal story of coming out as a gay man and living by principles that have brought him to the summit of athletic achievement.
Tewksbury continues to inspire all those around him with his dedication to both the sports industry and the gay and lesbian community. He contributes to various athletic committees, including the International Olympic Movement, as well as serving as the Co-President of the 2006 World Outgames, held in Montreal. This event hosted over 16,000 participants from over 120 countries. The games were organized to bring about social change through sport, an idea that Tewksbury advocates himself.
Here is an inspirational read for anyone facing personal conflict or seemingly insurmountable challenges.
