The Tenacity Podcast

#18 | Ross Austen | Life after losing a limb in combat.


Listen Later

In this episode, Fergus is joined by Ross Austen: a former corporal from the 24 Commando Engineer Regiment. In Afghanistan in 2008, Ross was out on a foot patrol when he came under attack. Setting a charge to blow into a compound,  enemy fire forced him to pull back - which resulted in him triggering an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), severely damaged both of his legs... Ross then underwent 10 emergency operations before being flown home.

Fergus and Ross discuss the details of Ross's experience, his recovery, the mental challenges, and the enormous success he has since found as an adaptive athlete across disciplines, and as a father.

The crux of it all for Ross? Work hard.
