FROM AMPUTATION TO ASPIRATION Scott Odom

We are proud to present Scott Odom, a true testament to the power of resilience and determination. At just 14 years old, Scott faced a life-altering challenge when he lost his leg to cancer. Despite this daunting obstacle, he refused to let it define his future. Instead, Scott channeled his passion for basketball into a remarkable career as a professional amputee athlete. In this episode, Scott shares his personal experiences from the moment he learned about his amputation, through his rigorous recovery, to his triumphant return to the basketball court. We’ll explore his transition into adaptive sports, and the profound impact of his charity called ABI, Amputee Basketball Invigorated. Scott’s story is one of overcoming adversity, achieving greatness, and giving back to the community. The AMP'D UP211 Podcast is created and hosted by Rick Bontkowski, a right below-the-knee amputee.
