Full story
The mind of an athlete no matter what level never rests. It is always hungry for more. More dirt, road, water, snow – the list is long. Sadly sometimes life drops bombs on our bodies that we can’t anticipate or expect.
We may be “broken” but we are never discouraged. Why? Because of faith, family and friends. These three things are the key to fixing the “broken” and getting back to the business of feeding the mind and body of the athlete.
HUP HUP – ring goes the cowbell.
As a rider on course you thrive when these words of encouragement hit you. Often times its on an up or right before the barriers — motivation to get you through and going faster and stronger. Exactly the same for an athlete searching for adaptive options. Getting out of the chair and back in the mix. Rooted in cycling but applicable to all sports ——- “I still want to go. I still can go. I just need find things and places that will help and enable me to go.
I STILL WANT TO GO
We really like the mantra of former Crested Butte, Colorado mayor W Mitchell, who uses a wheelchair. “He said that the average person does 10,000 unique things in their life, and a person in a wheelchair can do 8,000 things,” explains Tom Foster. “Are you going to spend your life worrying about the 2,000 things you can’t do, or get out and do the full 8,000 that you can?
“He said that the average person does 10,000 unique things in their life, and a person in a wheelchair can do 8,000 things,”
I STILL CAN GO
We created a hashtag #getbackinthemix and our goal is to help you figure out the 8000 things you still can do. We are here to support you, if there something you want to do chances are there is someone else out there that wants to do the same thing. We want to keep an open attitude and always be willing to help others find opportunities to do something amazing.
I JUST NEED TO FIND THINGS AND PLACES THAT WILL HELP ENABLE ME
As we grow our hope is to be able to provide places and equipment for individuals to get back in the mix. However, we know we cannot meet every need and that is not our goal. So we will continue to reach out to other Foundation / organizations and collaborate with them to provide and enable people.
