I’m so excited to introduce you to a new friend on today’s episode. I first met Natasha McCann in Fort Worth, TX and she is a fellow 2023 Cowgirl 30 Under 30 honoree. We’ll dive into her inspirational story of overcoming hardships and thriving because of them. 

Natasha McCann is the owner of McCann Athletic Therapy. She is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition in Sports Specialist, Emergency Medical Technician, and holds a rare Dual Board Certification in Clinical Rehabilitation and Orthopedic Manual Therapy. She has made herself one of the Western Industries leaders for manual therapy, particularly for rodeo athletes.

In addition to running her business, Natasha is also a coach with Champion Living Fitness, and a Wellness Provider for the Western Sports Foundation. She works for Cervi Championship Rodeo, coaches at a CrossFit gym in Fort Worth, helps out with War Party Ranch, and day works.

Her background has always been in sports, where she pursued a basketball career until a motorcycle accident changed her course. From there, she took a job riding colts on a ranch and cowboyed for several years.

She had begun to take courses and attain her certifications when a wreck on a colt left her with 5 broken vertebrae, a damaged kidney, and a severe head injury. While the accident was extremely unfortunate and trying, it also became the driving force in her career. Having experienced first hand the discouraging pitfalls of the medical system, she wanted to be an advocate for those in similar situations. She dedicated her business to helping those in the western industry so that they could continue doing the things they love and make a living from.

Now she spends a large part of the year on the road, treating rodeo and western sport athletes across the country.

In this episode, Too Many Damn Dreams with Natasha McCann, we chat about:

  • How her accident drove her to this new passion of helping others in similar situations she was in

  • The power of looking at wellness and your body as a whole

  • Ignoring those who want to squash our dreams and keep us small

  • The power of persistence and not taking no for an answer
