Joe Delagrave joins Michael Rasile on For the Love of Sports to discuss his journey to becoming the Head Coach of USA Men's Rugby Wheelchair Team, winning multiple Paralympics, and what it was like transitioning from Division 2 Football to wheelchair rugby. At 19 Joe suffered an unfortunate spinal cord injury which left him, at the time, paralyzed from the neck down. Joe went from a 6 6' tight end to sitting in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. While he went through some dark times, Joe made the best of his situation and started a new love in wheelchair rugby. After countless hours improving his craft, Joe eventually went on to win 2 Paralympic medals for Team USA and was named team captain. Joe is now the Head Coach of the USA Men's Rugby Team and uses his skills as an intelligent player to help out those around him. With the injury, Joe has become an ambassador to Wings for Life, an organization dedicated to research for spinal cord injuries with their biggest event the Wings for Life World Run May 7th!

“Rugby is something I think about all the time. But then going like, if it's gone, am I okay? If it's ripped away, like my able-bodied football career was, am I okay? In that moment, I wasn't. I had to ask, who is Joe in this new life in a wheelchair, and what's my identity? ... I think that's an important piece too, where a lot of athletes—it might not be as devastating as a paralysis, but when they're going through that eight- to 12-month rehab or a two-year rehab, or whatever it is, that identity is gone for a minute there and they have to kind of fight through and ask themselves those questions.”   Joe Delagrave has had to navigate more than one major life shift. He was a tight end at Winona State University in Minnesota, the ultimate team player, when a boating accident after his freshman year broke his neck and paralyzed him.    Several years later, he found wheelchair rugby and quickly excelled, helping the U.S. team to Paralympic bronze in London in 2012. He poured all his energy into winning gold in Rio in 2016—then, was cut from the team.    In this week's episode, he describes how he recalibrated to come back and lead Team USA to silver in Tokyo in 2021. Then, he retired from competition to become the head coach, yet another significant transition.    Through the ups and downs, he's learned there's a lot we can't control in life. But by leaning on yourself—and the support, effort, love and faith you've cultivated—you can chart your own path forward, despite obstacles.   Resources/links: Joe's website, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook page   Thank you so much to our sponsors for season 6:  Fluid Running, which has revolutionized fitness by bringing running to the deep water IceeNOW.com, which provides innovative injury prevention and recovery solutions for athletes ADAM Rehabilitation, creators of the ADAM Brace System, the most stable exercise system built to save the health of your shoulders Learn more and access exclusive discount codes for their products at buymeacoffee.com/rebound or by joining The Injured Athletes Club Facebook group.   You can subscribe to The Injured Athletes Club on Spotify, Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, Audible, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts, and if you like what you hear, please leave us a rating or a review in Apple podcasts.

Going for Gold (ft. Joe Delagrave)How an athlete turned a horrible tragedy into his greatest achievements.OPENING QUOTE:“In that split second, life changed. I go from the boat to the rescue boat, to the ambulance, to the local hospital. They med flight me up to a bigger hospital. And that's when I learned that I had a spinal cord injury, that I had broken my neck, and that I'd probably never walk again.” —Joe DelagraveGUEST BIO:Joe Delagrave is a Paralympic athlete for Team USA, a journey that introduced him to the sport of wheelchair rugby. After a casual boating accident that would have derailed most people's lives and shattered their dreams, Joe's story becomes one of purpose, passion, courage, comeback, grit, resilience, and transformation.Learn more about Joe Delagrave:Team USA BioInstagramTwitterLinkedInWebsiteCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[07:34] - Where Victory is MadeIt's not just on the field, track, or courtJoe recognizes that if he and his teammates land gold at the Paralympic Games, it won't just be the result of their work in Tokyo. It will be the 13 years of preparation, the sacrifices from players and their families and more. Many different paths must be taken to reach that destination.[10:37] - The Event that Changed EverythingAnd what came next...In 2004, Joe Delagrave was in a boat that struck the bottom of the river and sent him flying backwards in the boat, breaking his neck at vertebrae C6 and C7. His initial response was feelings of frustration and depression, but he then realized that he was wired to push through anything. So, he did.[24:28] - From ‘How Do I Get Out' to ‘How Do I Excel Where I Am'A shift of mindset transformed Joe's lifeAt first, Joe Delagrave wanted only one thing— to get out of his wheelchair. He felt that was the only way his life could begin again. Then, he pivoted, realizing— there are avenues for success while living with disability. That's when a true transformation took place, and he began to reach for his ultimate potential.[28:14] - The Power of ChoiceWhen it feels like your agency is taken away, you always have a choiceJoe could have turned to blame, to bitterness, and to a feeling of helplessness. Instead, he inspires himself and others every day to remember that you always have a choice in how you respond to tragedy or roadblocks. If you can break free from blame, you can find incredible success on the other side.[34:54] - The Danger of Identifying Yourself with Your SuccessHow Joe almost let his competitive spirit get the better of himWhen Joe began chasing gold medals in the Paralympic games, he began to think that obtaining that dream would validate him as a husband, father, leader, and community member. But he soon realized that it wouldn't do any of those things. Just as he would have to earn his victories in wheelchair rugby, he would also have to earn his victories in other areas of his life.[42:39] - You vs. Them: A Whole New MeaningWhose opinion matters to you?Joe likes to ask everyone he meets, “Are you more worried about what other people think of you, or are you more worried about actually living out your purpose?' The people who choose the latter are the ones who ultimately end up achieving even their wildest dreams.RESOURCES:[0:34] The Power of Playing Offense[1:56] About the Paralympics[21:10] MurderballFOLLOW:We'd love to hear your thoughts on today's episode.

Joe Delagrave, Paralympic wheelchair rugby player, joins us on the show today!

A day that would change Joe Delagrave's life forever! Joe Delagrave grew up as a three sport athlete which lead to playing Division II football at Winona State University. His identity was rooted in his athletic career. Nothing else mattered besides his pursuit of being the best athlete he could be. However, July 10, 2004, would be a day that all those dreams vanished as a casual boating adventure turned into a life altering accident. In the matter of a split second, he went from a college football player to a paralyzed 19 year old kid. He had to figure out what life would be like in a wheelchair. Soon he realized, through God's grace, his faith in God became his foundation. Fast-forward, he and his wife April have three beautiful children. Joe found an adaptive sport that helped him become independent, confident and fuel his competitive fire. He's a keynote speaker all over the country, sharing his story of overcoming adversity. Joe is also a Bronze Medal holder and is the current Captain of the USA Paralympic Rugby Team and will be playing in Tokyo. Go USA!

Can you imagine at age 19, after a boating accident, waking up from surgery to the doctors telling you that you will never walk again? This is the beginning of Joe Delagrave's deep transformation.   His journey to forgiveness and faith is one you will never forget.

Joe Delagrave was a three sport athlete throughout high school, which led him to play Division II football at Winona State University. But on July 10, 2004 a casual boating adventure with some friends on the Mississippi River turned into a life altering accident. In the matter of a split second, he went from a college football player to a paralyzed 19 year old kid. He would discover wheelchair rugby, a sport that helped him become independent, confident and fuel his competitive fire. He has been a member and captain of the USA Team for several years now.

In this episode, Joe Delagrave joins me; we talk about his love for sport and how he was set to make that his career. Unfortunately, a significant, life-altering event changed everything.
