Exercise and fitness have been a central part of James Osborne’s life throughout his adult years. James gave his all when running, skiing, cycling, rowing, or participating in various court sports; sports represent a place of refuge, solace, camaraderie, and hard work, bringing him great joy and fulfillment. Until June 2007. Abruptly and catastrophically, Jamie sustained a sports-related injury that rendered him permanently disabled. His professional career as an information technology leader derailed, and participation in recreational activities became obsolete. Even years after the accident, his body continually betrays him, facing daily residual deficits from an unimaginable injury. His family has struggled mightily, coming to grips with this new normal. Jamie remains undaunted by his recovery, harnessing all of his faculties to battle this condition and regain many aspects of his lost functions. By re-engineering his mindset, he has committed to regular exercises, fostering new neural connections. As a result of this focus, he now lives without minimal assistance.
A note from the author:
“My passion comes from an unwavering desire to inspire, encourage and give hope to not just those facing the consequences of this “unimaginable” injury, but to reach out and touch those who may be infirmed or facing any life adversity. My story is deeply personal, real, authentic and in many places vulnerable.”
A note from a New York Times Best Selling Author:
“You will close the book believing there is no problem you cannot solve, no mountain you cannot climb, no obstacle you cannot overcome to lead the life you desire to live.”

I often use the moniker “choose to win.” Some have said that life can be distilled in to the choices we make and the relationships we cultivate. In my case, all of the cells in my body were screaming don’t, it’s too hard, the mountain too high.
Early on in recovery when faced with a fork in the road I chose to fight the good fight, defined my terms, took a stand and chose to win. Winning not in the absolute sense but winning on my terms. What I’ve accomplished over the last decade is testament to that choice.
