Riley Tejcek: From Marine to The Amazing Race | The Riley Gaines Show

Riley Gaines sits down with Riley Tejcek, Marine Corps captain, Team USA bobsled athlete, and contestant on The Amazing Race, for a conversation about courage, competition, faith, and motherhood.

What does it take to compete on The Amazing Race, represent Team USA in bobsledding, serve as a U.S. Marine, and navigate life as a new mom? Riley Tejcek shares how she went from Division I softball to racing bobsleds at nearly 100 mph, what she learned serving overseas in Iraq, and how she and her mother made history as the first mother-daughter team to win a leg of The Amazing Race. She also opens up about returning to military service after childbirth, postpartum body image struggles, raising a son, and finding strength through her Christian faith. From competing at the highest levels of sports to navigating the challenges of motherhood, Riley explains why her identity is rooted in Christ rather than her accomplishments.
