The Making of a Paralympian: At the Crossroads of Pain and Purpose with Jarryd Wallace (Part 1)
In this powerful first part of a two-episode special, Jack talks with four-time Paralympian and world champion sprinter Jarryd Wallace to explore the incredible journey that shaped his identity far beyond the track.
Before he was a decorated Paralympian, Jarryd was a standout high school distance runner with a scholarship to the University of Georgia. But at 18, a diagnosis of compartment syndrome led to a devastating medical complication—and, ultimately, the amputation of his leg. In this deeply personal episode, Jarryd opens up about:
- The years-long battle with pain, uncertainty, and identity loss
- His raw struggles with faith, purpose, and mental health
- The pivotal moment that led him from bitterness to breakthrough
- How he came to see amputation not as loss but as a second chance at life
Jarryd’s story is one of resilience, spiritual growth, and discovering strength in surrender. Tune in to hear how a young athlete faced unimaginable obstacles—and found a renewed vision for life, purpose, and elite performance.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where Jarryd shares how he turned his new reality into a record-breaking career on the world stage.
