Josh Cinnamo

Away from the track:
Cinnamo enjoys spending time with his wife and family, whether that’s being in the stands at sporting events or relaxing outside. He is intentional about using his voice and platform to speak on issues he cares about and encourage others to pursue their passions.

In their own words:
“Don’t worry about leading from the front. Lead from where you are.”

“For me, sports were an opportunity to prove (mostly to myself) that I was as valuable an asset in sports as the next person. When you’re born with a built-in disadvantage, as most people see it, you seek an environment as tough as possible as a proving ground. Sports of the unorganized variety set the tone for my love of competition.”

“Afraid of failure? How do you even know what that feels like unless you’ve failed? I love failure. Failure equals success. It means I’ve pushed past my abilities. What’s more admirable than that?”

“The big surprise for me was how competitive everyone was. It blew me away, and from there I was hooked.”
