Description
At 13 years of age Logan lost his arm in a wakeboarding accident - has that limited his life? Nope- not at all! You may not be able to control the adversity you face, but that doesn't mean you don't control your destiny! In this interview, he discusses how he will never accept the expectations of others and is dedicated to spreading awareness and opportunities through education. Logan says you have to accept the reality of the situation, be grateful for the abundance that you have, be mindful what you focus on, and always keep learning. As he states, “the deterrent or the interest (of what I do) does not come or stem from having one arm or what I'm capable of doing- it’s just what I'm interested in and I will figure out the rest later.” As his mom said right after the accident- “Logan, it’s just an arm.” You are more capable than you believe and can conquer any obstacle on the course or in life. LESSONS Accept the reality of the situation Be mindful of the words you use Be grateful for abundance Be mindful what you focus on Live in a “growth mindset” Always keep learning Don’t accept the expectations You're more capable than you believe Conquer obstacles on the course and in life This episode is brought to you by 5.11 Tactical https://www.511tactical.com/ LINKS - Adaptive and Inclusive Training Certificate Course https://www.adaptivetrainingacademy.com/adaptive-inclusive-training-course/ - Adaptive Training Academy homepage https://www.adaptivetrainingacademy.com/ - ATA Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/adaptivetraining/ - My personal Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/aldridgelogan/ TIME STAMPS 0:00 Sefra Alexandra introduces this episode at Bob Ross’s lake 0:34 5.11 TACTICAL intro 1:00 Joe introduces this weeks guest 2:00 Losing his arm at 13 3:15 Accepting the reality of the situation 4:30 Dealing with initial disbelief 5:45 It’s just an arm 7:45 Having a supportive community 9:15 Fixed versus growth mindset 11:15 Adaptive athletes in competitions 12:20 5.11 TACTICAL Break 13:40 Weight training & corporate America 15:00 Starting a 3D printing company with prosthetics 16:00 Working to inspire others around health & wellness 17:00 Functional training for quality of life 19:00 Spreading awareness and opportunity for adaptive education 20:40 Demonstrating what’s possible & motivation 22:30 Believing in your capabilities 24:00 A tale from Normandy beach 25:30 Unstoppable ambition 27:00 Adaptive Training Academy goes online 29:50 Sefra the Seed Huntress reviews lessons learned 31:30 5.11 TACTICAL Close SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/SpartanUpShow YouTube: http://bit.ly/SpartanUpYT Google Play: http://bit.ly/SpartanUpPlay FOLLOW SPARTAN UP: Spartan Up on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/spartanuppodcast/ Spartan Up on Twitter https://twitter.com/SpartanUpPod CREDITS: Producer – Marion Abrams, Madmotion, llc.
