The Adaptive Athlete Podcast
The Adaptive Athlete Podcast is dedicated to sharing the stories of athletes in the Crossfit space and beyond who have pushed past the limits doctors or others gave them.
In these conversations, you'll hear stories of resiliency, adaptation, grit, and determination. You'll also hear about the ways the adaptive space is growing.
Whether you are an adaptive athlete, a coach, or you know someone who would benefit from adaptive athletics and adaptive fitness, this podcast is the place to hear stories and build connections.
New episodes drop every Tuesday.

Perspective Bringer: When Your Disability Becomes Your Calling (Feat. Kevin Ogar)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
WheelWOD’s Kevin Ogar joins the podcast from Las Vegas a week before the Adaptive CrossFit Games.
We trace his path from Missouri “country problem solver” to 2007-era CrossFitter and regional athlete, and then the life-altering OC Throwdown accident that left him paralyzed.
Kevin opens up about faith, family, and the data-driven grind behind building fair tests for 16 adaptive divisions.
We talk programming trade-offs, logistics few spectators ever see, and what he wants athletes to remember heading into competition: come prepared for anything and enjoy what the team built for you.
