John Register’s journey is a powerful testament to resilience and the possibility of a second act. A world-class athlete, John’s life changed dramatically after a traumatic accident cost him his leg. Faced with this profound shift, he developed his Three Rs framework—Reckoning, Revision, and Renewal—to guide himself through transformation. Through this process, he not only redefined his own path as a Paralympic medalist and global advocate but also empowered others to navigate their own transitions. With a belief that “everything in life is training,” John has made it his mission to show how adversity can lead to reinvention and renewal, reminding us all that with purpose and community, each of us has the capacity to build a new chapter.
