Melissa Stockwell became the first US female soldier to lose a limb in the Iraq War in 2004. In 2016, she realised a dream by standing on the podium in Rio to receive a Paralympic bronze medal in triathlon.

She opens up about her epic sporting career, emotional heartaches, and shares some mental techniques for coping with difficult situations.
