Today we’d like to introduce you to Will Reynolds.
Hi Will, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I grew up in the city of Sydney, Australia. When I was in my teens, I had friends from school that came from big farms and ranches in Australia, and I would visit them in the school holidays. When I finished high school, I decided to pack up everything I had and head to northern Australia to work on a 1.4-million-acre cattle station. While I was there, we would work for a few months straight; then when we’d have a weekend off, we would go to the local rodeo & camp draft. It was a bit of fun where all the local ringers would get together. I started riding saddle broncs for fun there, and was horrible. I wanted to get better, so I stuck to it. Fast forward 2 years, and I ended up coming over to the US to go to college on a college rodeo scholarship. I graduated with a business/finance degree in 2020 and went on the professional rodeo circuit after that.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Not quite. I have had 4 shoulder reconstructions, 2 hip surgeries, problems with my knees, have had my wrist screwed back together, and a few other injuries. It forced me to learn how to take care of my body, which is something I really try to focus on now through weight training, endurance training, and, most importantly – nutrition.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
