Grace O’Rourke, Winner of Ultimate Hell Week, shares Four-Step Formula for Success

The winner of RTE’s Special Forces: Ultimate Hell Week, Grace O’Rourke, was the guest speaker at Network Ireland Limerick’s first event for 2020. Attendees of the event, which took place at the Savoy Hotel, learned that there is truly no limit to what you can achieve with the right mindset and resolve.

Fitness and Mindset Coach Grace O’Rourke recalled her extraordinary experience in surviving Ultimate Hell Week, the gruelling eight-day programme designed by former members of Ireland’s elite Special Forces unit, the Army Ranger Wing (ARW) – a selection process that in real life has a failure rate upwards of 90%.

Beating 24 other contestants, this remarkable achievement saw Grace become the only female in the history of the State to pass this level of formal military assessment of mental, physical and emotional endurance.

In sharing her story, Grace also shared her four-step method for conquering challenges and how to push yourself further than you think you’re capable of going. Grace has been involved in several business ventures and a keen athlete and showjumper from an early age.

Ms O’Rourke said, “Whether it be when competing in athletics or show-jumping; applying for the army after being rejected; taking on the challenge of starting a new business or pushing myself that extra mile when training, having a complete harmony and balance between mind and body is what has helped me to keep battling through.”
