And he's grateful it happened to him. In his words: "becoming disabled saved my life."
To be honest, I started this show as another "here's how to start an Adaptive Athlete program" show; just another litany of tactical bullet points from landing page to coaches' pay. Ten minutes into the show I knew we'd never get there. We'd never get there because the answer to "how do I ____?" is embedded in Wesley's story. How?
How do you respond to adversity? Is difficulty an opportunity or an obstacle? Are you afraid to take massive action toward your goals for fear of failure?
Sometimes we need a massive wake-up call. Sometimes tragedy is the only thing that gets us out of our own way. But, it doesn't have to be. We can choose to look at the world differently; to see a competitor moving in down the street as a chance to refine your product; that problem coach as a way to define and stick to your core values; another month in the red as a sign that things need to change.
So, the answer to "how do I start an adaptive athlete program?" (or barbell club, or kids program, or corporate wellness, or whatever) should actually be: "How do I respond to the unknown? To failure? To an obstacle?" With a shift in mindset, you can start anything.
