Yeah. 03:33.830 --> 03:39.110 Mm. No misleading and you can put on show in three up with her 03:39.200 --> 03:41.120 was convicted under the hood. 03:41.660 --> 03:42.450 The is it. 03:43.580 --> 03:46.710 You know honestly relieving is that to us from andrew albeit 03:46.840 --> 03:49.280 than injury happens. That significant for that. 03:50.030 --> 03:51.140 One of the something like this. 03:51.920 --> 03:52.410 His easy. 03:53.030 --> 03:55.690 You know transitional intransigent are just for real estate come 03:55.820 --> 03:59.540 and go to the people can't even deaf la it. This Kate you are 03:59.540 --> 04:03.560 normal what can um and that's what's funny about um being in 04:03.560 --> 04:07.810 the world cup levels your normal with 40 50 other people who 04:07.810 --> 04:11.950 are pushing you'll harder than they've been pushed before I think 04:11.950 --> 04:15.430 I'm a lot of people think and I know i've heard this before I'm. 04:15.980 --> 04:19.010 They warn interested in sport and a diminished level and this 04:19.010 --> 04:21.020 is not sport of a diminished level. 04:21.530 --> 04:24.810 I'm you're still competing as hard as you can because that guises 04:24.960 --> 04:28.170 pitting as hard as he can he's in similar frame and she wore 04:28.200 --> 04:31.930 how so it is it's still sport it may not look like the sport 04:31.930 --> 04:35.790 that she were a and before you were injured but it's still sport 04:35.790 --> 04:39.430 that's that's actually um I think all that more so because there's 04:39.430 --> 04:42.370 the them to more things that can involve that kid and your weight 04:42.370 --> 04:44.930 pet that you have to focus on I'm. 04:45.490 --> 04:49.570 Being more athletic in certain ways and and and um. 04:50.290 --> 04:54.480 But just for things that you didn't have to adjust for the fourth 04:54.480 --> 04:57.140 sake for example cross country skiing. There's these down houses 04:57.140 --> 05:01.300 is nice Scrabble down also scored a sloping turn for stand-up scare. 05:01.600 --> 05:04.210 They can just what's called step turn. So they get around it 05:04.210 --> 05:07.060 their ski start to slip about think they just take a step in 05:07.060 --> 05:09.810 and we'll our skis just don't stay. 05:10.850 --> 05:14.090 They're they're lock and when you lose an ad use an action your 05:14.090 --> 05:17.390 off the side. So you've got to the trust for the takes little 05:17.390 --> 05:20.710 bit more I think of that more patients will but more um. 05:21.320 --> 05:25.390 Work to get that in fine-tune than such you don't I'm sochi hit 05:25.390 --> 05:28.120 every trilogy what about one. Well I can hit the trail. 05:28.760 --> 05:31.600 Um because you know your competitors are and a new. 05:32.360 --> 05:37.310 That's Is also a zhu as well from somebody who's of an injured um. 05:38.090 --> 05:39.360 Once they get beyond that. 05:39.860 --> 05:42.400 Um I can to like I use to thing. 05:43.610 --> 05:46.980 And they pushed the on that dead and it gives you some of focus 05:46.980 --> 05:50.260 on set of all things you can do you cut stars sing all things 05:50.260 --> 05:53.800 to can do and you're not worried so much in a more can I go 20 05:53.800 --> 05:58.040 feet can my time my shoes you're worried about um. I've got to 05:58.040 --> 06:00.640 tap issues because I gotta get the long because I got a kick 06:01.060 --> 06:04.340 in his but tomorrow because he's gonna kick mind. If I don't. 06:04.940 --> 06:07.780 I'm and I'm rather me do chicken than. Him. 06:11.340 --> 06:13.970 Uh oh got five minutes local this color we're. More. 06:16.640 --> 06:19.180 Believe in you. Chanel. 06:20.490 --> 06:24.490 Yeah. All three and the where he noted. 06:25.820 --> 06:28.310 No. To. Um. 06:30.720 --> 06:34.290 The face when you that we're says you can do can do that and 06:34.290 --> 06:35.670 on the fit to just. 06:36.440 --> 06:38.630 Forget about that just come and go forward too. 06:39.310 --> 06:42.590 Little to do and I think that it's interesting because there 06:42.590 --> 06:45.960 was a phase of war and that was really put a prominent and that 06:45.960 --> 06:49.940 man of the year to um but I was thankful for might be a in that 06:49.940 --> 06:50.300 they work. 06:51.280 --> 06:55.260 Part of the rehab was getting you out giving you expose um. 06:55.290 --> 06:59.330 But ought to say and I think every day I wake up and will have 06:59.370 --> 07:03.140 little bouts of potash. If I can do that on camera really sure 07:03.470 --> 07:06.840 and that's where again this comes in the play where you're focused 07:06.840 --> 07:10.740 on something that you cannot take. Well we can get into this 07:10.740 --> 07:13.740 room because there's a stare y-up will find a way make away you 07:13.740 --> 07:16.850 know could be because you've got to get out there. You've got 07:16.850 --> 07:21.380 to you know that you're competitions work and so you can accept 07:21.380 --> 07:27.150 little excuses apply planets kinda reign and time it was a low. 07:27.740 --> 07:31.710 He you gonna go because you gotta keep your heart rate up you 07:31.710 --> 07:36.240 gotta keep that those those I'm on your your you know being in 07:36.240 --> 07:39.790 shape and that you know that every day which are not working 07:39.790 --> 07:42.520 out you're losing and it system and get harder to get back up 07:42.520 --> 07:47.550 to speed. So I'm you stop making excuses and you start just doing it. 07:47.960 --> 07:51.450 I'm one of those things is fight for example of it's getting 07:51.450 --> 07:54.950 a swim called the got these on what it will chair and when you 07:54.980 --> 07:57.830 push the button and It's really I mean it's really pretty cool 07:57.830 --> 08:01.220 because for somebody who's got limited mobility that's all they 08:01.220 --> 08:03.820 get in the water. Well and that's why how I was taught to get 08:03.820 --> 08:04.730 in the water well. 08:05.230 --> 08:07.900 The can't one you can always wait for that stupid. 08:09.070 --> 08:11.740 You might not that the key three it might not be there. So you've 08:11.740 --> 08:14.990 gotta figure out a way to give them a little cool without using 08:15.320 --> 08:17.200 and for somebody without. 08:17.870 --> 08:20.780 For who picks the sport because you have to get in there. 08:20.780 --> 08:23.250 You know you don't come to the paulo of well it doesn't have 08:23.250 --> 08:27.010 the chair Cancun and I will nature of that kelly hugo.

No course 10:15.310 --> 10:18.100 so that you have to create stability with the fingers and such 10:18.400 --> 10:21.300 this year's stuff from and the stuff somebody in this for all 10:21.300 --> 10:24.530 the framing does fall that stability and then there are just 10:24.530 --> 10:27.270 kinda chug away as best they can often ever muscle groups ahab. 10:27.270 --> 10:32.220 So we try to maximize who you are to fit in to get the most out 10:32.220 --> 10:36.210 of it. So it's more like a less like I'm leaving parent kneeling 10:36.210 --> 10:40.320 position is generally what were you could see MC and try to talk 10:40.320 --> 10:44.620 to the banks and stuff the the The appendage is that don't work 10:44.620 --> 10:46.880 some greater just gonna get in the way if there sticking out 10:46.880 --> 10:48.640 you trot attack them away somewhere. 10:49.340 --> 10:51.880 Ties possible and keep data some nice to meet. 10:52.580 --> 10:57.140 Fit and then I'm here to work in every muscle that she have at 10:57.140 --> 10:59.980 your disposal and so it's it's teeny teach individual spinal 10:59.980 --> 11:01.560 cord generally works. 11:02.340 --> 11:06.410 It's way up like that's I'm amputation basically it's the lake 11:06.410 --> 11:10.260 is gone. So you just strap yourself in then and there you go 11:10.290 --> 11:14.290 but that we've when we see out here in europe. It's more of these 11:14.290 --> 11:18.740 that don't quite fit edit. One spinal cord or education or in 11:18.740 --> 11:21.750 some sort of bruce the factor some sort of um. 11:22.310 --> 11:27.340 Others. Thing that came along and and mess them ten. So they're 11:27.340 --> 11:30.210 not they don't quite fit into that mold and so then you are seeing 11:30.210 --> 11:34.070 some interesting things of we're in the top of the body away 11:34.070 --> 11:37.090 and that's one thing and I'm basically just strap and it to whatever 11:37.090 --> 11:39.990 source seat frame prayed stability um. 11:40.910 --> 11:45.430 Good position for you to be them active and putting energy in 11:45.430 --> 11:49.430 of the snow and accolade for instead of that but I start about 11:49.430 --> 11:52.010 within one i've seen a lot is this something that's comfortable 11:52.010 --> 11:54.530 butcher sitting in a lounge chair in your minds will be having 11:54.530 --> 11:57.190 a thimble control here and and that's not built for speed. 11:58.820 --> 12:01.160 Grim. To them. 12:02.780 --> 12:06.010 Another only in the the roosters are made was just three for 12:06.010 --> 12:10.430 each person and And therein lies the came and a lot of our adapted 12:10.430 --> 12:13.630 sports stands that each is made for the individual.
