Ben Clark, dove into the sea “Baywatch style” and discovered it was shallower than he expected. The impact broke his neck, resulting in paralysis from the chest down. Drawing on 10 years of experience as a professional swimmer, he was determined to get through his recovery with physical and mental strength.

In this interview we explore an impressive range of topics, including:

Self identity
Mental health
Happiness
Falling in love with the process
Post success depression
Starting a youtube channel
Being a coach in a wheelchair
Prehab and not getting injured
Sticking to exercises
Smart goals
Travel as a quadriplegic
Dating

Through his social media channels, Ben aims to, “adapt workouts, nutrition, advice, motivation for any and all situations” so that working out and staying fit is accessible for all.

I just love one of his favourite sayings, "There’s no path to happiness, happiness is the path."
