Alexandra André
The Power of Possibility
A journey of inspiration and courage
Far from an elite athlete, Alexandra André bounced from one running injury to the next for the best part of five years before deciding to take part in the toughest one- day sporting event in the world. Without an ounce of confidence she could achieve it, Alexandra signed up to do the 2015 IRONMAN Melbourne – 3.8 km swim, 180 km ride, 42.195 km run.
Training for the event became more of a journey than she could have imagined. One of great purpose, filled with synchronicities and opportunities.
THE POWER OF POSSIBILITY is a compelling sports story and much more. Alexandra’s very real and honest account of the highs and lows of reaching her goal make it remarkable. Her story is engaging and relatable, leaving us not only inspired, but with hope in our hearts, full of wonder for the world of possibility that awaits when we find the courage to test our limits.
Alexandra André grew up on the family farm in South Australia. Having developed a love of running from an early age she got a taste of what’s possible when she completed her first marathon. Not deterred by the years of injuries that followed as she chased a second marathon, Alexandra chose to take on an even greater challenge – IRONMAN Melbourne. It would become a dedication to her good friend Mads, and a life-changing one at that.
Since then, Alexandra has run further marathons and launched her own business. THE POWER OF POSSIBILITY is Alexandra’s first book and she lives in Melbourne with her son James.
Alexandra has a passion for helping people achieve their marathon goal and is available for coaching sessions and keynote speaking engagements. She’s also developed The Academy – an online course that expands on the 12 steps to help achieve any goal.
