越野滑雪运动员詹宁.谢福德梦想摘得奥运奖牌，却在一次骑车训练时惨遭车祸。她讲述了关于人体恢复潜能的故事，令人难忘，她想要表达一个信息：你不应受限于躯体，而且放弃旧梦想才能放飞新梦想。Janine Shepherd
Athlete Janine Shepherd was rendered a partial paraplegic when she was hit by a truck during an Olympic training bike ride. Doctors didn't expect her to recover. But she not only learned to walk again -- she learned to fly.

The central nervous system nerves, there is no cure. You're what we call a partial paraplegic, and you'll have all of the injuries that go along with that. You have no feeling from the waist down, and at most, you might get ten or 20% return. You'll have internal injuries for the rest of your life. You'll have to use a catheter for the rest of your life. And if you walk again, it will be with calipers and a walking frame." And then she said, "Janine, you'll have to rethink everything you do in your life, because you're never going to be able to do the things you did before."
I tried to grasp what she was saying. I was an athlete. That's all I knew. That's all I'd done. If I couldn't do that, then what could I do? And the question I asked myself is, if I couldn't do that, then who was I?但接着医生朝我走过来，她说：“Janine，手术很成功，我们已经尽可能地将你脊髓里的碎骨片取出来，但是损伤是永久性的。中枢神经系统的损伤无法治愈。你的情况，我们称之为部分下半身瘫痪，所有下半身瘫痪患者有的损伤，你都会有。你腰部以下没有知觉，在最好的情况下，你可能会恢复百分之十到二十的知觉。你终生都会有内伤。你一辈子都得使用导尿管。即使你能再次行走，还是得使用卡夹和助行器。”接着，她说：“Janine，你得重新考虑你人生中要做的每一件事，因为你将永远无法做你以前能做的事了。”
我试着去理解她所说的话。我是名运动员。这是我唯一知道的，也是唯一做过的事。如果我再也不能当运动员，那我还能做什么？我问自己的问题就是：如果我不能当运动员，那么我是谁？
