How I went from injury to world records | Jamie Barrow | TEDxVienna

Find something you love doing and stick to it, no matter what people say. For me that was snowboarding, and despite many set backs, injuries, and people telling me to stop I strive to push myself further.

Snowboarding is everything to Jamie Barrow and It has changed his life. After a serious Injury he was told that he would not be able to snowboard again. He was determined not to let this stop him from doing what he loves, and has since gone on to set many speed records.

[@celsiusfahrenheit1176]

Did you recovered??? I'm stuck now with it, going to PT

[@lol14132]

@@celsiusfahrenheit1176 Ive been stuck with mine in both shoulders for 3 years. My MRI showed no tears but I think MRI with contrast is more accurate so it could be torn. Not sure what to do either but u arent alone

Im swiss and my mom put me on ski from 2 and half years old. I played ice hockey college till 17 with some ice time with pros. Anyway, girls and beer 😂😂😂my hockey career took an end. I was since 6 yo a fight sport enthusiastic but it was non existent in my tiny swiss town. At 23, in 2009, I moved to the UK to learn ENG and as london is plenty of mma gyms, there i went. Im now 37 and been training mma which i was always dreaming of. However im currently watching this vid while having my first meal post surgery cause I messed-up my shoulder in wrestling. I cant wait to heal and go back 😢😢😢😢

[@IronInforcersecond]

Trimallear ankle fracture + dislocation in April as well. I just ditched the crutches today. Headed back to the mountain that put so much metal in me in 2 months. Don’t let anything stop you

[@tonytaf107]

[@mxu001]

My knee injury instilled fear in me that I never had. Agony .

[@greg9069]

I feel ya.. I had surgery in my back for 3 different conditions, on 2 levels of vertebrae.. likely i will never heal :/ I’ve had pain for 2 years now and went from a strong successful young man, to a bitter lonely shriveled shameful drug user. It’s the worst feeling, and I hope your knee gets better.

@@greg9069 God bless you man. How is your rehab going?
