Meet Howie Sanborn—Paralympian, retired U.S. Army Airborne Ranger, and former Golden Knight with the Army Parachute Team. After a cycling accident in 2012 left him paralyzed, Howie refused to slow down. He turned his focus to paratriathlon, and in 2024, earned his spot on Team USA for the Paris Paralympic Games.
In this episode, Howie talks about channeling his military mindset into sport, the mental toughness it takes to compete at the elite level, and the crash in Paris that tested him mid-race—but couldn’t stop him.
