There are many inspirational CrossFit stories out there, but this is easily one of my favourites.
Corey Reed was 23 when he was involved in a near fatal car accident which left him completely blind and a right leg amputee.
Determined not to let his physical condition prevent him from doing the things he loved, Corey continued to live a life full of extreme sports.
He’s now a blind professional wakeboarder, and training to compete at the Paralympic games as a snowboarder.
Corey also does CrossFit training to prepare and condition himself for these sports.
Last month Corey Reed etched his name in the CrossFit record books, by becoming the first adaptive athlete to compete in an able-bodied CrossFit competition with CFLA in Phoenix, AZ.
He also competed at the inaugural Working Wounded CrossFit Games on November 10, in Virginia, a CrossFit styled competition designed for amputees and severely wounded veterans.
The above video is a teaser of the upcoming documentary, “Making History”, which talks about the ride Corey has taken since becoming a blind amputee.
