## Resource

What does it take to go from struggling to read in elementary school to earning an MBA? In this inspiring episode, Brandon Slade sits down with Gabe Corradino, a former student athlete who grew up with dyslexia and executive function challenges. Gabe shares his journey of resilience—from reading at a first-grade level in fifth grade to finding success in both athletics and academics. He talks candidly about what it was like to play hockey and other sports while struggling with comprehension, how harsh coaching environments affected his confidence, and why empathy and clear expectations are essential for athletes who learn differently. The conversation dives into the power of acceptance—from family, schools, and self—in unlocking accommodations and creating space for growth. Gabe reflects on his time at Western Colorado University, the support systems that helped him thrive, and how he discovered his own way of learning by embracing flexibility and personalization. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or coach, Gabe’s story is a reminder that learning differences don’t define limits—they can become strengths when paired with the right support and mindset.
