In this second part, Brian continues the conversation with Jaco van Gass, diving into the journey of rebuilding after life-changing injury and what it really takes to reach the top of elite sport.

From exploring different pathways in adaptive sport to committing fully to cycling, this episode follows the transition from starting again to competing at the highest level.

The conversation also expands beyond sport, covering extreme expeditions including the North Pole and Mount Everest, and the lessons learned around teamwork, trust, and decision-making in high-risk environments. Jaco reflects on the mindset required to perform under pressure, the evolution of his training, and what it took to achieve Paralympic success.
