The Accident...9 Year Later || Steele Johnson

9 Years ago I got in a bad diving accident that should've left me dead. I'm so grateful for these past 9 years. Thanks for supporting me along the way.

You are so inspirational, Steele. Never stop doing what you're doing.

Steele I haven't followed you since the very beginning but once I did I tried to watch as many videos as I could. So knew about the accident I 've always been inspired how you bounced back from it so quickly. I saw Blood and Water at the Carmel screening and the scene recreating the accident fully brought that to life. Goodness that was so realistic and scary.

Nice reflection on your accident, very inspiring message! The motivation that you have from overcoming the injury is something else. Shows people that its possible to shoot for the stars even after something tragic happens. Very awesome!

Hey Steele I just saw your video and I am truly inspired. You not only motivated yourself and completed your dream and goal but you inspired others to do the same with their goal like myself. Your videos keep me from giving in to life and to do the same thing as yourself. Keep on keeping on. Thank you for being you. God bless. I love sharing your story for motivation for myself and others

I love this, Steele. Thank you. Thank you for sharing your story and posting this video. I have always said, "everything happens for a reason, I just don't know what the reason is yet". Whenever I go through something, I know it's because He has something greater in store for me down the road. Rich blessings can come from the hardest moments of your life. It's only after you've gone through a challenge that you realize just how much you've grown and changed. One of my favorite quotes is "There's no growing in a comfort zone and no comfort in a growing zone." Just thought I'd share. Have a wonderful day! :)

Steele, I know diving isn't the only part of your life, but it is an important part of your life right now and it really is amazing to see the joy you get from it and the passion it instills in you to not only succeed but be a better person.

None of us know how long we've got, so we should all live every day like it's our last and put 100% effort into it.

[katiewilliams]

You've inspired us so much everyday I love watching you dive my dream is to meet you I love watching your videos on YouTube I'll meet YouTuber Billy Kearney in 3 weeks I'll post a video and pictures when I'm in Florida I'm going down There to swim train in sunshine so exited can't wait you are amazing Steele and I look forward to seeing you and David hopefully win gold in Tokyo keep diving and keep aiming for your dreams.... -Katie

I smack and have to psych myself up to do the dive again. You take on a concrete block in a 1v1 and go win an Olympic medal. Mad respect

[brighterdoug]

And the broken foot has given you time to think. And plan with more clarity than you might have had if you were just diving for weeks. Looking forward to the year ahead!

❤️, are u able to look at the scar n feel you've come to terms with it yet?

[EL-tvsy]

I saw you on Omeleto and was genuinely frustrated that most of the viewers didn't know you or your channel hahah
