A devastating injury forced the decorated Persian Gulf War U.S. Army combat veteran to make a life-altering decision: amputation. Instead of chasing what was lost, Register embraced a New Normal Mindset and returned to elite sport, becoming a two-time, two-sport Paralympic athlete and Silver Medalist.
