Adam Popp - World Class Para Athlete, Masters in Sport & Performance Psychology, Danny Therapy Sesh

In this episode, the boys are joined by special guest Adam Popp. In 2007, Adam was working to disarm an IED in Afghanistan when a secondary IED injured him, leading to amputation of his right leg above the knee. In a moment, his life was changed forever. Trying to figure out his next steps, Adam ended up getting two Master’s Degrees (Sport and Performance Psychology and Rehabilitation Counseling) and decided to start running in 2015. Adam has had several impressive race results since then in the triathalon, marathon, and ultra disciplines. Most recently, he ran a 100 mile PR of 16 hours and a marathon PR of 3:08 at the London Marathon. In his professional life, Adam uses his educational background to help others going through similar situations that he went through. This episode is inspiring and was very educational to the world of para athletics. Enjoy!
