Mat Hotho sits down with Nigel Barber. Nigel is a UK-based adaptive CrossFit athlete and founder of Wodaptive. We have an honest conversation about building a life and a competition community after a spinal injury at 16.

Nigel traces his path from a genuinely dark few years post-injury to discovering fitness through a Royal Marine PT who refused to accept excuses. That carried him into CrossFit, and eventually into co-founding Wodaptive, an adaptive pairs competition that now sells out in hours and draws athletes from across the world. 

He's also been central to launching British Adaptive Weightlifting, giving adaptive athletes access to the snatch and clean and jerk on a competitive stage.
