Ep #232 - Tyler Carter, or "TC" as his friends call him, is a 2x Paralympian in Alpine Skiing. Tyler lost his right leg below the knee at the age of one due to the congenital condition Fibular Hemimelia, which means he was born without the fibula bone. Not letting this deter him, he participated in various sports and activities while growing up including basketball, swimming, tennis, dance, and karate. He eventually found his true calling in the form of alpine skiing.
Thanks to a combined effort from the Pennsylvania Center for Adapted Sports and the National Sports Center for the Disabled, Tyler fell in love with skiing and quickly moved up in the standings. After being awarded a scholarship to attend and spectate the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Games, a dream was formed to compete at the games and represent Team USA. Four years later Tyler had his chance when he was named to the 2014 United States Paralympic Team that would compete in Sochi, Russia. Since then, he has competed at the 2015 World Championships, World Cups and the 2018 Pyeongchang Paralympic Games with some Top 20 and Top 15 finishes to his name. While ski racing is a major part of Tyler's life it is not the only passion he has. Tyler has a huge heart and is a strong believer in giving back to communities. He volunteers with various organizations promoting living healthy and active lifestyles among youth, individuals with disabilities and many more.
