Great Inspiration in the face of Adversary
Olympic athletes inspire us – they show us the true beauty, and the potential of the human body. The Olympics are grueling mentally and physically, but what if your body didn’t respond as fast? What if your lost your sight, or your legs at a young age? The athletes that compete in the Paralympic Games face the same grueling athletic challenges, but for many, they have been pushing their physical ability boundaries for years. Imagine that walking down the stairs takes every once of energy of you have. Or imagine relying only on the smells, sounds around you to see. Now imagine, throwing yourself down an icy hill. Crazy? Hardly – it’s just the mentality of a paralympic athlete.
Read up on some of the most inspiring athletes competing this March (12th-21st), and support your favorite athlete.
