In this episode, Mat sits down with Emily Avery to talk about her journey from discovering CrossFit as a teenager to becoming a competitive adaptive athlete and advocate. After losing her arm in a car accident in 2021, Emily navigated the challenges of rebuilding her life, returning to school, and eventually stepping onto the competition floor just six months later at Wodapalooza. We discuss the power of community, the evolving waves of support after a life-changing event, and how she found strength in the adaptive CrossFit space. Now coaching, running adaptive seminars, and pursuing a career in occupational therapy, Emily shares how fitness has shaped her resilience and her passion for helping others.Are you an adaptive athlete?
