Update 11\/30\/20<\/strong><\/p>\n

2020 was set up to be a big one for Alise and myself as it was an Olympic year. We started off our year in Australia, where we spent January and most of February at the first two stops of the 2020 World Cup BMX season in Shepperton, Australia. It was a great month in Australia, Alise and I stayed at my parent\u2019s house, which is close to my local training spots I grew up training at. Alise was able to train at these spots in preparation for the World Cup. We traveled to Victoria every week for 4 weeks to prepare on the track where the race would be in February.<\/p>\n

It was a very successful campaign with Alise dominating the first two World Cup rounds, winning both of them, which was impressive given that it was in Australia and our family was there to watch.
My other two athletes that I work with. My childhood friend Anthony Dean and Lauren Reynolds both did very well. Anthony winning almost all his laps and ended up 2nd in the main, and Lauren ran really well both days and came home with a 5th and a 7th.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, we left our month long trip in Australia feeling very happy. A week after arriving back in the US, thanks to Alise\u2019s partnership with Toyota, we attend the Daytona 500 and sit in the Toyota suit. It was an incredible experience as a huge Nascar fan; it doesn\u2019t get any better than drinking Stillhouse Bourbon Old Fashions names the intimidator and watching the Daytona 500!!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Little did we know this event would be like the last supper of 2020 as it was only a couple of weeks later, the world came to a screaming halt with the emergence of COVID 19. Initially, when the world shut down, we were in limbo, as were many. We thought we would still race our World Championships in June and Olympics in July of 2020. Not too long went by before we realized 2020 would become a wrap as far as racing was concerned. It was a tough peel to swallow for Alise with her Olympic campaign started out so strong.<\/p>\n

We took a couple of months of downtime and did some projects around the house we had neglected for years. We got into a great routine of taking our dog Mila on walks twice a day, and now she is more attached than ever and will hate us when we start traveling again. The scooter has been amazing to have as it has given us the ability to go on walks with the dog every day and carry my laptop and camera around at training with Alise.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

Our other quarantine project was building a home gym, which if one good thing came from the lockdowns for me, it was that (getting a home gym) something I have always wanted and especially since my injury. I have also been sharpening up my coaching knowledge by doing some projects with some physiologists in the cycling world. The second quarantine project was to build an office where I could do all my programming and data collecting from training, and it seemed like a no-brainer to make it an office\/whiskey room \ud83d\ude0a , so that\u2019s what we did.<\/p>\n

On the physical side for myself, I continue to train a minimum of 4-5 days a week. I focus mainly on strength training in the gym, where I have significantly improved my back strength and bench press, which I have got up to 265lbs. We also brought a ski erg that has been a great addition to get some cardio every day. As much as I love hand cycling, getting it packed up and going to Coronado, where there is an excellent safe path, is logistically not possible every day. The ski erg has been significant for my cardiovascular system; last year, I couldn\u2019t get my heart rate above 110. I\u2019m now continually pushing it above 180, which is fantastic. I generally do around 30 minutes on the erg, doing different intervals.<\/p>\n

We are now somehow in November and next week heading to our first race since March, which will be held indoors in Tulsa, OK. To say we\u2019re excited to be back racing is an understatement.<\/p>\n

As always, thank you for the ongoing support!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Willoughby\u2019s fianc\u00e9 Alise Post has provided this update and was published in BMXaustralia.com.au\u00a0Author:\u00a0National Admin<\/a>\/<\/span>Wednesday, January 25, 2017.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cSam left Denver Rehab Hospital on New Year\u2019s Eve and arrived home in San Diego to a Welcome Home Party with friends and family to\u00a0bring in the New Year.\u00a0Since the accident, we have undertaken considerable construction at our home to ensure Sam\u2019s recovery continues smoothly, with the final finishes to the lift and bathroom construction being made.<\/p>\n

In great news, the home therapy room is getting close to finished, and we have most of the equipment necessary now including the FES Bike, Standing Frame, Total Gym, Electric Mat Table along with various bands, med balls, dumbbells, and hand therapy equipment.<\/p>\n

We would like to take the time to thank everyone who has supported through Sam\u2019s Road 2 Recovery Fund, as these modifications around our home have been made largely thanks to the combined effort between the insurance and the fund donations.\u00a0These changes to our house enabled Sam to begin therapy straight away on January 2 and he really enjoys working with his therapist at home in a one on one personalized setting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sam continues to see small gains in sensation and function, which leaves him encouraged to keep working in this setting for as long as needed and striving for more\u00a0and\u00a0every therapy session.\u00a0He continues to show daily motivation to get better and work his hardest, leaving no stones unturned. He repeatedly needs to be told how important rest is too!\u00a0Over the course of the month, Sam has been busy sourcing out his personal San Diego team of service providers for different therapy and recovery techniques and he is happy with that progress.<\/p>\n

Since the month has progressed, being home with friends visiting and his dog Mila has been very therapeutic for Sam.\u00a0He is also looking forward to seeing his brother again soon and meeting his nephew\u00a0for the first time in the coming weeks!<\/p>\n

On behalf of Sam and all his family and friends, we would like to thank everyone for the continued support.\u00a0 We are grateful for the overwhelming support we have received, as\u00a0we\u00a0understand not everyone may have the same amazing backing in times like this\u201d.<\/p>\n

December 1, 2016, Sam Willoughby Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

After 70 days of eating, sleeping, breathing rehabilitation here at Craig, our official inpatient stay is coming to a close! This means that Sam is considered medically stable enough for him, his mum and I to move out of this hospital room and transition towards home life by moving into the outpatient program here in Denver. We plan to stay here for December and have a jam-packed \u201cwork schedule\u201d utilizing the world-class facilities available to us here at Craig. This seems to be the perfect transition allowing us to stay close to the hospital while living on our own without the haunting \u201cquick set of vitals\u201d phrase!!! It will also allow time to get all of his equipment and our home more prepared for home therapy and everyday life\u2026this has been a continual process behind the scenes to get organized. Sam and all of us are really looking forward to the freedom to use all of the crazy technologies and work with many motivated therapists through the PEAK center here before transitioning to that next step home. As successful as his inpatient stay has been, the opportunity to direct his own care and focus more on his personal goals is what Sam is ready for!<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/lite-youtube><\/div><\/div>

Throughout the past month, Sam has managed to stay fit and even put a bit of muscle back on. A big part of this in his legs would have to be the increased amount of stimulation through the FES bike (video is shown), pool workouts, and more time upright in harnesses on the Erigo (boxing machine in an earlier post) and vibration plate. We\u2019re hoping that all of this stimulation work will aid in his bodies\u2019 \u201cmessage sending\u201d process. Some other exciting news is how stable Sam has gotten at getting on all fours and balancing. He is even able to use a swiss ball with some spotting to get on his knees which is pretty cool. All of the work on his tummy, posture and balance is definitely indicating a bit better core activation which is super exciting this early on in the game for someone with an injury like Sam\u2019s. His hands continue to improve in function, he increases his weights or reps almost daily with his dumbbell, cable, and med ball work which means his grip and upper body are only getting stronger! We are all super proud of Sam and can\u2019t wait to continue this journey with him.<\/p>\n

We need to extend a huge thank you to his entire inpatient team here at Craig as they have taken our ideas on board and done their best to accommodate Sam\u2019s goals amidst ticking all of the boxes to get him \u201cmedically functional\u201d to get out of the hospital. We had our discharge meeting yesterday and every single one of the team members said they had never worked with a more motivated individual that forced them to use all of their resources and push the limits for not only Sam but all of the future patients that come through Craig Hospital. Thank you to everyone who has helped keep Sam\u2019s spirits up so that motivation never lagged, every positive energy sent our way has played a role and will continue to help him as he turns the page to the next chapter in his road to recovery. Having just gone to Tulsa, OK over Thanksgiving for our year-end finale of the USA BMX series, I\u2019ve experienced first hand how strong and genuine the support for Sam truly is, and we can\u2019t thank you enough for that. I know I fed on all of those good vibes myself and was somewhat surprised with a great performance in Tulsa winning both days of racing and taking my 5th women\u2019s pro championship title, and 9th overall prestigious USA BMX silver cup. None of those feats compared to the feeling of accepting Sam\u2019s \u201cPro of the Year\u201d award amidst the loudest cheers of the weekend though, so thanks for letting him hear you all the way in Denver! We even got a few visits from our closest friends on their drive back west which is much appreciated and we thank them for taking the time to stop by :) Replay of the race and awards for anyone interested in watching can be found at >> https:\/\/youtu.be\/6gxOpM25Q5E<\/a> ).<\/p>\n

Wishing everyone a happy holiday season!<\/p>\n

UPDATE: 11\/01\/16- Double Down for Sam Willoughby<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>

Sam Willoughby, an Australian Olympic BMX rider was in a freak accident on September 10th<\/sup>, 2016 while training at the local San Diego BMX track. He suffered a spinal cord injury around his C5 \u2013 C7 vertebrae.\u00a0Sam being the fighter that he is with a spirit of a true champion has been doing aggressive rehabilitation therapy in Colorado with his fianc\u00e9, family, friends, and fans cheering him on.<\/p>\n

When an injury of this magnitude occurs there is a point where insurance runs out of financial support. Insurance rehab typically consists only of getting the injured to a point where they are able to sustain the injury and live under their \u201cnew condition\u201d.\u00a0Sam\u2019s goals are far beyond that; the therapy that will challenge him to stand and walk again will cost a great deal of money and far exceed what the insurance companies are willing to cover.<\/p>\n

Now you can help more than ever before! Thanks to a\u00a0sponsor who has requested to remain anonymous, \u202astarting Tuesday, November 1, 2016, every dollar you donate at\u00a0www.strengthfor91.com<\/a>\u00a0will be matched up to $30,000!\u00a0That means for every dollar you choose to donate, you will double down with the matched donation!\u00a0Having just surpassed the $60k mark in Sam\u2019s Road 2 Recovery account, there is an opportunity to DOUBLE the total funds raised and raise another $60,000. These vital funds will be put towards his rehabilitation therapy, home modifications, therapy equipment like FES bikes, stem machines, standing frames and so much more.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s tally of funds raised for Sam\u2019s cause is $63,240.\u00a0You can keep an eye on the running total raised on his cause page and when the total goes past $93,240, the donated matched money of $30,000 will be deposited, bringing his new total to $123,240! Remind Sam to Stay Strong by helping complete this Double Down Challenge by December!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

New Update as of 10\/2816 from fianc\u00e9\u2019 Alise Post:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>

Today marks 5 weeks since arriving at Craig Hospital in Colorado for Sam\u2019s intense, specific SCI rehabilitation. We hope everyone enjoyed Sam\u2019s feature on 60 Minutes Australia and gained a bit more insight as to the challenges Sam faces on his road to recovery. We also hope that everyone can see his strong character shine through, and how important the support around him throughout this journey has been, and will continue to be. I know for myself, getting to go home for a quick two days and go to the race in CA really exposed me to the outside world again, and the words of encouragement and overall support for us was just incredible and almost overwhelming\u2026so, THANK YOU!!<\/p>\n

As for Sam, he continues to work hard and push the boundaries. He is doing really well with all of his functional skills and becoming more and more independent every day. He is regaining a lot of upper body strength, better core balance, and a bit more sensation to touch throughout his lower body which is really encouraging for those of us here watching him put the work in each and every day. He is actually moving along quickly enough that he is challenging his therapists and the system so much so that they are allowing him to do extra above and beyond work as an inpatient. These extra \u201clower body recruitment\u201d sessions are what he really looks forward to during the week, and it\u2019s awesome to see the same excitement from the therapists that get to work with such a motivated patient. He even got to let a bit of frustration out on the boxing gloves during therapy which was fun! (And I don\u2019t think he minded getting the okay to have that boxing match with his fianc\u00e9 ;-)<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t predict the future, but Sam is doing incredible things and has the true heart of a champion, so we know he will do well. Of course, there are times that this process feels like an eternity, but he is keeping his chin up and we are all reminded to keep focused on the process of small gains day by day as we start looking towards the next steps of this journey.<\/p>\n

We are saddened to hear of so many people in our network going through similar situations. This is not an injury we wish on anyone, and we just hope that everyone can keep all of these warriors in their thoughts and send as much positive energy their way as possible. It\u2019s inspiring to witness first hand what people go through to do everyday things that healthy people take for granted daily\u2026 I know who got my vote for the Cycling Australia \u2018People\u2019s Choice\u2019 Award and the USA BMX Golden Crank \u2018Pro of the Year\u2019!!! #StrengthFor91<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

UPDATE 10\/6\/16<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>

The days have been getting busier and busier here at rehab for Sam! He is now finishing up two solid weeks of rehab and is doing great. All the staff love him here because as you can imagine his work ethic, motivation and intensity have made quite an impression on those around him. I can honestly say he\u2019s probably working harder than she ever has before, which is pretty impressive as we all know how intense he already was with his day to day training!<\/p>\n

From dawn to dusk he\u2019s filled with individual and group therapy sessions that are helping him become more and more functional both using what he already has and working towards gaining things back. Balance and mobility have been a big focus thus far and Sam is picking up on everything quickly. Some highlights from his therapy thus far include meeting a 3x Paralympic Rugby medalist who shared his story with a group of young men like Sam\u2026it\u2019s amazing how many Paralympic athletes we are always surrounded and inspired by at the Olympic Training Center, but now we can gain even that much more respect for the path they\u2019ve had to endure to get where they are\u2026they are truly incredibly strong people with great life lessons to share.<\/p>\n

Another highlight would be using the FES bike to help stimulate his legs in motion and \u201cfeeling\u201d so familiar to him. Some other highlights include getting in the pool for the first time and getting stood up in a special standing frame they use to reacclimatize people to an upright position. The visits and presence of our good friend and TM Jason Carnes definitely helped in this situation as Jason always has plenty of stories and laughs to share that keep spirits up and actually physically kept Sam\u2019s blood pressure levels in check as they stood him up\u2026thanks Jase! He was also a great therapy buddy for Sam during his upper body strength class as anyone who knows him can imagine\u2026 ;) So yes, on top of all of the physical stimulation, the support of friends, family, and fans from around the world have played an incredible role in the healing process and keeping Sam\u2019s spirits up \u2013 THANK YOU to everyone who has sent positive energy and kind messages our way. Keep spreading the love and stay tuned for more updates!<\/p>\n

UPDATE: 9\/26\/16 FROM ALISE POST & SAM WILLOUGHBY<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

The Willoughby entourage had an eventful weekend! Whilst Sam was being transported, the fam made the trek by car and had the pleasure of making a stop off in Vegas for a few hours during Interbike to accept the 2016 NORA Cup for #1 Racer on behalf of Sam. Thank you to everyone who voted and continues to support Sam as a champion on his bike and as a champion in life. It was such a pleasure to surprise him with yet another award to add to his collection, with this specific one showing how much respect and support he has from his peers within the sport. As he is now faced with his most challenging race, I know this small token served as a great reminder to him as to who he is and what he is capable of with the people around him.<\/p>\n

The whole clan is now settled in at the rehabilitation facility, and Sam is super excited for his first day of \u201cwork\u201d to commence! #road2recovery #strengthfor91 #mondaymotivation<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Sam Willoughby is a game-changer in the world of BMX racing. Since bursting onto the scene winning back to back Junior Elite World Titles in 2008 and 2009, Sam has won just about every title imaginable. Alongside his unmatched pro winning streak in USA BMX history, he has won 3 overall USA BMX National #1 Pro titles, multiple Elite Men World Titles, multiple Australian National Titles and is a 2x Olympian with a Silver Medal performance during the 2012 London Olympic Games and a strong quest for Gold in the Olympic final of the 2016 Rio Games just a few short weeks ago.<\/p>\n

He followed his recent Olympic effort up with a trip back to his hometown of Adelaide, Australia to take part in an initiative that targets teens in local communities across Australia to get active on bikes. Sam is nearing the 10,000th bike donated to kids that take part in the program.<\/p>\n

On Sept 10, 2016, Sam had a training accident on the local Chula Vista BMX track where he was airlifted to the hospital and operated on that evening due to sustaining fractures in his C6 and C7 vertebrae which severely compressed his spinal cord and left him with no movement below his chest. The operation involved removing his C6 vertebrae, replacing it with a titanium cage, and fusing his C5-C7 vertebrae with a plate and 4 screws. Fortunately, this surgery was successful enough at decompressing his spinal cord and aligning his vertebrae that no second operation for further stabilization was necessary.<\/p>\n

However, trauma to the spinal cord to this extent is not an overnight recovery and leaves us with an extremely unknown prognosis. At this stage, Sam has regained use of his arms and is slowly regaining sensations in his legs, but still has no movement from his chest down. Though it has felt like an eternity, this relatively quick response from his body leaves family, doctors, and specialists with high hopes for Sam\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>

Sam\u2019s next step is to be transported to CO to begin a long road to recovery with SCI (Spinal Cord Injury) specialists at a rehabilitation center there. Whether Sam inspires you by his dedication to excellence on his bike, or by his efforts to give back to others off the bike, it\u2019s our turn to support Sam. Road2recovery.com is a portal where Sam\u2019s friends, family, and fans can stay up to date and offer financial support to Sam to ensure #strengthfor91 remains strong throughout his road to recovery.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
