The Adversity Advantage with Doug Bopst

Former Pro Skier Jamie MoCrazy is the first woman to double-flip in a slopestyle ski run and is the epitome of strength, perseverance for all female athletes. In 2015 at World Tour Finals upon landing a trick Jamie caught an edge and whiplashed her head into the snow causing her brain to start bleeding in 8 spots and she immediately went into a natural coma, facing paralysis on her right side. In fact, doctors wrote her time of death in the helicopter on the way to the hospital where doctors informed her family that there was a 0% chance she lived. Miraculously, 10 days later, Jamie woke up to severe memory loss and a loss of ALL motor skills (speaking, walking, eating, etc.). During the relearning process, she was 100% dependent on her family - sister Jeanee and mother Fruit. Their sacrifice, determination, and mindset are why Jamie is who she is today. Today on the show we dive deep into Jamie’s compelling story from start to finish. We talk about the ups and downs, the details of her near death experience and what life was like shortly after, how Jamie relearned all of her motor skills, the most painful thing that she’s had to come to terms with, her advice for people that are feeling like they are at a rock bottom in their life, how Jamie challenges herself today and much more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

Marcus Filly is the founder of Functional Bodybuilding. After leaving medical school, he turned instead to health and fitness to help people more directly with training and nutrition in their day to day lives. Drawing on an extensive training background in soccer and his competitive Crossfit career, Marcus owned an affiliate CrossFit gym for years before changing methodologies to help athletes better succeed through individual coaching. After the 2016 CrossFit Games, he was burned out and broken, and about to become a first time father.
