John Register was training for the Olympic Games when one missed hurdle changed everything. 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. He co-founded the U.S. Olympic Committee Paralympic Military Sports Program and authored 10 Stories to Impact Any Leader. Today, Register is a leadership keynote speaker guiding leaders through irreversible decisions—helping them amputate what no longer serves so they can elevate what truly matters.
