In this episode from Summer 2019, Brian and Bryan sit down with Navy veteran and blind adaptive athlete Scott Leason. Scott shares his journey from honorably serving for 7 years in the U.S. Navy to being shot in the head and losing his sight while working at a convenience store.
Scott faced many challenges adapting to the loss of his sight, but eventually found the Challenged Athletes Foundation’s Operation Rebound. In 2008, he received CAF Operation Rebound support for his waterski training and has since competed in multiple IRONMAN races and was the sole visually impaired athlete on Team USA at the ISA World Adaptive Surfing Championship.
Oh yeah, he became an adaptive athlete in his 50s. Listen to this incredible story!
Enjoy!
