Carly Patterson Biography

Carly Patterson empowers individuals and organizations to conquer limiting beliefs and cultivate employee engagement to create history-making teams that redefine what's possible.

She is a singer, songwriter and former Olympic gymnast. At the 2004 Summer Olympics, Patterson became the first American woman in 20 years to win the All Around Olympic Gold medal in gymnastics since 1984. She also won silver medals for balance beam, and the women’s team competition.

Carly's performance at the Olympics lead to numerous appearances on television talk shows and award shows, and her induction to the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame, the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. But soon after the Olympics, Patterson was diagnosed with several bulging discs in her lower back that had gone unnoticed. She announced her intention to take time off from the sport to rehabilitate her back, however, faced with a certain future of debilitative paralysis if she continued the competing, she officially retired.

In her authentic, humorous, and down-to-earth presentations, Carly shares the redefinition of success through principles she learned as a championship-level gymnast, and in the challenging years that followed.

Patterson co-wrote her autobiography, "Be Strong," a story of the strength and perseverance that helped her win Olympic gold. She also made an appearance in the movie “Stick It.”

Patterson pursued a career in vocal performance, songwriting and production.

Carly and her husband experienced infertility and the challenges that comes with it, but after years of struggles, she got pregnant. She and her husband now have two children.
