If you think the odds are against three-time World Champion Bareback Rider Tim O'Connell, you'll be sadly mistaken when you see the comeback he has planned for 2025.
"Control your controllables" is how Tim O'Connell began his announcement to the public on April 12, 2024, that he would not be competing for the remainder of the 2024 season. As challenging as the sidelines are for any professional athlete, O'Connell continues to be a role model in the rodeo world by handling this new season of change with grace and perseverance.
After the 2023 NFR, O'Connell had surgery on his groin to ensure that he would be ready when the rodeos started back up in the 2024 season. He got on his first horse since surgery on Easter weekend, and when it was all said and done, his groin couldn't withstand it. Tim, his wife Sami, and their sons Hazen and Stratten recently moved from Marshall, Missouri, to Cascade, Iowa. Their move prioritized their family, being in close proximity to Tim's parents, extended family, and Sami's family. The exemplary school system is an added bonus.
The O'Connells look forward to their first summer in their new home as a family of four. Tim plans to remain involved with rodeo, even though he won't be competing, so fans can expect to see him throughout this season.
