During a routine foot patrol in Afghanistan, Royal Marines Commando Mark Ormrod stepped on and triggered an Improvised Explosive Device. He was airlifted via helicopter to an emergency field hospital in a desperate attempt to try and save his life. He woke up three days later to finds that both of his legs had been amputated above the knee and his right arm amputated above the elbow. During his recovery the doctors told him that he’d never walk again and that he should prepare himself for the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

However, Mark refused to be beaten by his circumstances, and since this tragic incident, has gone on to become an internationally acclaimed motivational speaker, a peak performance coach, and the author of the award winning auto-biography Man Down.

In this episode, Mark joins Matt to talk about how he has turned his personal tragedy into an on going story of personal success and the ways in which he is helping others who may have suffered setbacks or feel they are not yet achieving their maximum potential to take charge of their lives, unleash their personal power and live a life with#NoLimits

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Though we may face challenges and setbacks in life, we must always remember that others out there have it harder. Overcoming challenge is all about altering our perspective, and realising that nothing is insurmountable.
Our bodies are incredible things, and can insulate us from pain when need be, by allowing us to step outside of an experience. Most pain originates in the mind.
Martial arts have provided a new focus for Mark, and have allowed him to use logic and his physicality in the pursuit of a new way of competing at the highest level.
By focussing too much on the past, we remove ourselves from the valuable present. Life is about what's next, not what came before. Each day is what you make it.

BEST MOMENTS

'What he's come back from, from where he was back then, is nothing short of phenomenal'

'This will always be a part of who I am, my legacy is working in communities and doing what I can to help people'

'It was phenomenal to witness how professional those men were in that situation'

'I focus on what my strengths are'
