Lysbeth Shirley is an adaptive CrossFit athlete who trains in a wheelchair due to paralysis from a stroke at birth and is also deaf. 

Despite these challenges, Lysbeth trains at home using Street Parking and CrossFit.com programming. 

We explore her experiences navigating school, learning sign language, and discovering CrossFit to build strength for everyday tasks and independence. 

Lysbeth emphasizes that adaptive athletes are regular people with everyday responsibilities and ambitions.
