Becoming An Unbreakable Person with Spartan Racer Kacey McCallister

Destined to Achieve Podcast

Losing both of his legs from a freak accident didn’t stop Kacey McCallister to live the life he’s wanted. In fact, after his accident, he was able to prove that anything is possible when he completed a 50-mile hike, got to a state championship as a wrestler, and became an Eagle Scout, among other achievements. He’s best known as a Spartan racer, a feat deemed incredible given his situation as a double amputee.

No feat is too incredible for Kacey, though. Hard work is his superpower; his family is his inspiration. His superpower and inspiration alone make him tough and prepared for any situation. With the understanding that failures are parts of the successes, he is even unbreakable.
