Keep the Negative, Develop the Positive (Feat. Sue Jordaan)
from The Adaptive Athlete Podcast · host The Adaptive Athlete
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.The Adaptive Athlete podcast is sponsored by Equip ProductsSend us Fan MailFollow the podcast on Instagram: @TheAdaptiveAthletePod
