As a teenager, Sean Busby had the snowsport world in the palm of his glove. Already a pro rider, he was busy training for the Olympic trials. Sponsors had flocked to him. He dominated competitions. With the Olympics down the road, he could almost feel the medal around his neck.
Then it all seemed to come crashing down. Busby suffered through a season of malaise, constantly feeling run down, worn out and just not up to the task. Weight dropped off his body despite his fuel-boosting training meals. He felt exhausted despite sticking to a smart training schedule. Finally, the answer came: Busby, 19 and ready to take on the world, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
For a moment, he thought his dream had died. Sponsors dropped off, and according to his wife and business partner Mollie, he was ?at the lowest point he?d ever been.?
