Adam Gorlitsky is a 36-year-old athlete who lives in Greenville, South Carolina (USA).

At the age of 19, he was involved in a single person car accident which left him paralyzed from the belly button down with a spinal cord injury.

His doctors believed he would never walk again.

Fortunately, ten years later, he was given the opportunity to try out a ReWalk robotic exoskeleton – a groundbreaking device that would allow him to eventually participate in over 50 road races and set the Guinness World Record for Exoskeleton Marathon Racing.

Shortly after doing his first road race, Adam founded I Got Legs, a non profit organization dedicated to ReEnabling athletes with physical challenges and supporting improvements to life changing technology.

One of their main goals is to turn Exoskeleton Racing into a Paralympic and collegiate adaptive sport.

In the interview we talk about the importance of goal setting, exoskeleton racing, overcoming adversity and Adam's professional and athletic goals for the near future.
