Capable Beyond Paralympics
Unlocking the Extraordinary Potential of Paralympic Athletes
Welcome to a movement that goes far beyond the Paralympic Games. As the world gathers in Paris to witness the incredible feats of Paralympic athletes, we invite you to dive deeper – into a story that challenges perceptions and expands possibilities.
I’m John Register, a two-time and two-sport Paralympic athlete, silver medalist, Olympic-class hurdler, and Hall of Fame speaker. I will be your guide throughout the Paralympic games (@paralympics) as we discover insights from my years of competing and one who has mastered the art of turning adversity into an advantage.
What if the limits we see are merely stepping stones? What if these athletes, who redefine what’s possible in sports, are just the beginning of a revolution in human potential?
Join me as we explore the capabilities that make these athletes extraordinary and ignite a conversation about the limitless potential within all of us. If they can achieve greatness in sport, imagine what else is possible; it’s a movement. Be part! Let’s Go! Sign Up Free

About John Register
John Register failed to clear a hurdle as he trained for the Olympic Games—a move that led to a tragic accident and altered his life forever. He shifted his focus and embraced a “new normal mindset.” The decorated Persian Gulf War combat U.S. Army veteran world champion became a two-time Paralympic Games Silver Medalist, professional speaker, and global influencer.
Register “amputated his fears” and founded the U.S. Olympic Committee Paralympic Military Sports Program. He authored 10 Power Stories in Spring 2020 and works with business leaders to hurdle adversity, amputate fear, and embrace a new normal mindset to win life’s medals.
The artificial leg he used to win the silver medal is displayed in the Olympic and Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
