Scott Rigsby thought life was over the day a car crash took both his legs. Although not over, his life would never be the same, going from one filled with hopes for the future to one filled with countless surgeries, prescription drug addiction and depression.

Hear how Scott battled against these seemingly impossible odds to become a world-class athlete, all fueled on the simple prayer that if God would open the doors for him, he would go through them. Although not competing in the Olympics, Scott Rigsby embodies all the spirit of an Olympic athlete.
