Steve Emt started his sport journey as a child playing soccer, baseball, basketball, and football. If his community didn’t have a league, his parents would start one. Emt was especially drawn to basketball, and his hard work and talent eventually led him to play at West Point. While there, Emt experienced the first major trauma of his life when his father unexpectedly passed away. In the wake of this loss, basketball continued to be Emt’s anchor and joy until, at the age of 25, his choices led to an accident that would completely change the trajectory of his life.

In this video, Emt shares the circumstances of the accident that left him physically paralyzed and mentally distraught, as well as the moments of self-discovery that led to a life of fulfilment and his current career in wheelchair curling.
