Sam Dell’Aquilla - GAMES BOUND ADAPTIVE CROSSFIT ATHLETE
Her scars were not her flaws, They were her story reminding her forever of the long journey that had made her exactly who she was! At 18 months old Sam was diagnosed with a cancerous spinal cord tumour. An extraordinary adaptive athlete, a remarkable woman & humbling life story! Sam inspired me by her athleticism, determination, courage and joy at the Torian Pro in 2024! She brought me to tears as I cheered her on, willing her to handstand walk! She has just qualified for her first CrossFit Games (2024), Sam shares her remarkable and humble life journey…a story of courage, overcoming multiple surgeries, living with pain, enduring bullying at school, finding CrossFit and the mental, physical and emotional journey that brought her to this point in her life! CrossFit became not only an outlet but a passion, where she pushed boundaries and proved that strength isn't just about muscles—it’s about grit and determination. Adapting, fighting, thriving—that’s Sam’s AMRAP. Limitations? Nah, those are just like no reps—annoying but conquerable. Sam has learned to adapt, proving that limitations are only in the mind (and sometimes her leg, but who’s tallying the reps?). “I want other people with adaptations, and all the little Sammys out there, to see that they can RX life too—they can be part of something incredible.” SUPPORT SAM: Sam’s Go Fund Me page can be found here: https://gofund.me/940e50d2. ????????????????????????????????????????????????AMANDA ALLEN PODCAST is brought to you by AMANDA ALLEN NUTRITION go to www.amandaallen.com.au use code AMANDA10 for 10% off at checkout!
