In this powerful and inspiring episode of Zone2Speak, host Juliana welcomes Kai Luan, a four-time U.S. Paracycling national champion whose journey embodies resilience and determination. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma during his junior year of high school, Kai underwent a right-below-knee amputation but remarkably returned to competitive sports. Initially diving into martial arts, he eventually discovered his passion for cycling. Now a dedicated paracyclist, attorney, and advocate for adaptive sports, Kai shares his insights on the unique demands of training and competing at an elite level. Join me as we explore the heights, challenges, and the relentless drive that propels him to continue breaking barriers on and off the race course. Whether an athlete or someone inspired by the power of human potential, this episode will leave you motivated and uplifted. --- Follow KaiΒ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leg0less/Β --- π Discounts for Zone2Speak Listeners!
