Connor Owens

I grew up and was raised around the sport of football. Becoming strong, fast, and conditioned from a young age was very important to me in my pursuit of success in the sport. A torn ACL in college ended that pursuit, but the fundamentals were ingrained in me to continue to prioritize my health and fitness throughout the years. It’s also especially important to me now as a father for my son.

It depends on the season of the year. In the summer/fall an ideal training day usually looks a full day of mountain climbing, or a 10 km trail run, followed up with weights at the gym, and sauna to finish. In the winter/spring an ideal day would be a full day in the backcountry making ski turns in deep pow, or cycling on a stationary bike to keep the knees healthy, weights at the gym, and sauna to finish. Martial arts, specifically Jiujitsu, is also a form of training I love as a blue belt.

I am a single dad with a 2 year old son. I would use $20,000 to invest in my son’s life more. We would be able to explore more opportunities for him (sports and hobbies) that can be expensive. Examples: hockey, skiing, martial arts, mountain biking. My 09 Toyota Tacoma could also use some long awaited TLC. I would use some of the money to fix some issues on my truck. I would donate some money to my church. Investments would also be something important for me to consider.
