In 2004, Josh Dueck suffered a bad accident that left him as a T11 paraplegic. Instead of sitting around feeling sorry for himself, Dueck got back to the sport he loves. Since then, he has won the 2009 Para-Alpine World Championship and won a silver medal for team Canada at the Vancouver 2010 Paralympics, as well as an 2010 X Games gold.
Here, Dueck gives one of the more inspirational TED Talks you’ll ever see.
