Send us a textMark Ormrod MBE is a former Royal Marine Commando, Invictus Games Athlete, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Purple Belt, Author and Motivational Speaker. After triggering an improvised explosive device (IED) during a routine foot patrol in 2007, he suffered serious injuries resulting in a triple amputation. He was the UK's first triple amputee to survive the Afghanistan conflict. After initially being told he would never walk again, Ormrod walked across the Parade Ground to receive his operational medal in 2008, six months after he lost his limbs. He eventually tried out for the Invictus Games 10 years after the explosion. After being selected for the team, Ormrod participated in the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto where he won two silver and two bronze medals. He reapplied for the 2018 Invictus Games where he won seven medals, four gold. He was noted for participating in the 50m breaststroke with only a few hours preparation having never swam in the event before.Expect to get the everyday perspective on what Mark experienced during and immediately following the explosion, his recovery and rehab, what men need to be doing to build resilience and much more...Extra Stuff:Check Out Mark's Website - https://www.markormrod.com/Mark's Book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Man-Down-Marine-Mark-Ormrod/dp/0552159492Re-Org Charity - https://reorgcharity.com/00:00 Intro03:26 Xmas Eve Patrol 200708:51 Detonating an IED20:22 Presumed Dead23:10 Waking Up & Recovery29:44 Rehabilitation35:32 Lowest Points43:04 Take Personal Responsibility50:52 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Benefits59:09 Impact of Social Media on Mental Health01:08:27 Do We Miss Lad Culture01:13:39 Are We Setting Kids Up to Fail01:21:15 Regularly Evaluate Your Life01:28:33 There is Enough Time in the Day01:34:45 Best Advice for Mental Health#mentalhealth #bjj #nolimits #mindset #motivation #veteran Need a chat?
