#260 - 15 Days of Breakaway | #2: Josie Conner
Josie Conner has become one of breakaway roping’s most refined and rapidly evolving athletes — a competitor whose discipline, self-awareness, and hunger to improve have transformed her into a consistent NFBR threat. With four NFBR qualifications and a climb from the bubble to the top of the standings, Josie enters Vegas with a level of maturity earned through experience, humility, and intentional growth.
In this episode, Josie breaks down the early years of her career — when she believed pro rodeo might be “a cakewalk,” only to realize how much evolution the sport demands. She reflects on finishing 15th and 14th, the hard lessons learned, and the mindset shift that forced her to get better, change things, and step into a new tier of competition.
Her story embodies the essence of breakaway roping today — evolution, grit, horsemanship, self-awareness, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
