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.

Keep the Negative, Develop the Positive (Feat. Sue Jordaan)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Sue Jordaan qualified for her rookie season and then made the call not to go because a $4,000 flight from South Africa deserves the fittest version of herself.
Mat Hotho talks with Sue about a 2013 car accident that broke her back in three places, cost her her job, and left her raising two daughters from a wheelchair.
What came after is amazing. Wheelchair rugby, a community that pulled her out of isolation, a CrossFit gym in Pretoria that put five athletes in the semifinal top ten, and scuba diving—where she dives fully independent, and puts other adaptive athletes in the water through her nonprofit.
