Melissa Stockwell became the first US female soldier to lose a limb in the Iraq War in 2004. In 2016, she realised a dream by standing on the podium in Rio to receive a Paralympic bronze medal.
"I look back at the last 16 years after losing my leg, and I have done more with my life with one leg than I ever would have done with two."
She opens up about her epic sporting career, emotional heartaches, and shares some mental techniques for coping with difficult situations.
