Two-time World Champion Connor Fields to Speak at Vista Peak Breakfast of Champions Event

With just days until Peak Vista Community Health Center holds its annual Breakfast of Champions event.

Former olympic athlete and BMX racing legend Connor Fields will be this year's keynote speaker.

The three time olympian and two time world champion Connor Fields is coming to Colorado Springs next Wednesday to talk about facing mental health challenges.

As one of the worlds greatest BMX racers, Conner went through his fair share of struggles with one of the worst injuries in olympic history.

At seventeen years old Connor became the youngest rider ever to achieve a BMX World Cup.

However at the 2021 Tokyo games, Connor crashed in what would be his last rave ever leaving him to him fight for his life while being taken away in an ambulance.

Despite the crash, Connor still has a strong love for his sport, and is now coaching other riders through their own mental health challenges.

“A lot of times people do not have the tools and therefore if something bad happens, they just become kind of a victim to the situation. They can't get out of it. So to equip yourself with the tools to navigate a hard situation or a hard period of your life is massively important to get through to the other side and get back to being the best version of yourself that you can be”

Peak Vista Community Health Centers is a nonprofit that provides health services through clinical programs.

Proceeds from next week's Breakfast of Champions event will launch a new mental health program designed to improve provider care in our community.

The breakfast will be held next Wednesday, October 25th at the Broadmoor Hotel.
