Learn How Alex Steered His Way to Success
In 2018, Alex Kopacz and pilot Justin Kripps crossed the finish line in a historic dead heat—tying for Olympic gold in two-man bobsled. It was only the second tie for gold in Olympic bobsled history. But 18 months earlier, Alex wasn’t sure he’d ever compete again. A huge injury had sidelined him during the most critical season of his career. Today, Alex channels that same relentless drive into keynote speaking, coaching elite athletes, inventing, entrepreneurship, and hosting The Good Trek—an international docuseries showcasing people creating positive change around the world.
Hi, I'M ALEX
I’ve been drawn to pushing human limits since childhood—from wilderness canoe trips to training with Olympic coaches in the German Alps. Along the way, I’ve faced torn muscles, career-threatening setbacks, and moments where quitting would have been the easy choice. I didn’t quit.
My core beliefs I believe resilience isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build. My mission is to help audiences discover what they’re truly capable of when they stop playing it safe.
My mission is to inspire others to step out of comfort zones, leaving a legacy of resilience and generosity. Let’s navigate life’s tapestry together, united in growth, creativity, and connection.
