Eight years ago, a catastrophic accident changed the life of elite athlete Brad Smeele. He says becoming quadriplegic as a 27 year old has taught him so much about survival and finding the strength to get through the darkest of times and the darkest of thoughts.
His deeply personal memoir, Owning It - The Ride That Changed My Life is an astonishingly raw and honest account of moving from a life of sporting success to dealing with the mental and physical challenges of losing mobility.
He is now a motivational speaker and has an instagram account with 35,000 followers.
