We have with us, a U.S Army veteran, Paralympic Silver Medalist and famous keynote speaker & Media personality, John Register. Sports was Josh's passion from the childhood but his life forever altered with one misstep over the hurdle. Just when he was at the peak of his career, when he seemed destined to compete as a member of the 1996 Olympic Team, in 1994 John suffered a serious injury due to which he had to lose one of his legs. Where most people could have broken down and gave up, John showed and extraordinary will to fight back. Never turned back from that point, John went on to create history, he earned the Silver medal in the long jump at the 2000 Paralympic Games and set the American long jump record in the process.
John's story is an inspiration to many, here in this interview; John Register will share his extraordinary life story in his own words. John talks about, from an Olympic track hopeful; after an injury, how he became a two-sport Paralympian.
