Life's New Normal Podcast With Host Long Jump Silver Medalist John Register

When Megan Absten was 14 years old, she lost her left arm after an accident in which an all-terrain vehicle was overturned. She attended the Annie Wright Schools after receiving a scholarship where she found a love for education. A wrestler and track star in high school, Absten returned to sport with the help of fitness coach Laurie Saunders. In her junior year of high school, back problems led her coach to reach out to a Paralympics coach who later came out to see her run. In 2013, she competed at her first U.S. National Paralympics Track and Field meet where she hit the podium with two silver medals.  Today, she continues on her path to Paralympic gold by making the 2016 Paralympic Team that will compete in Rio de Janeiro in early September. Here her journey and her insight on not settling into setbacks on this edition of Creating Life's New Normal.
