Nick Newell
Early life
Newell was born with congenital amputation of his left arm, which ends just below his elbow. Newell has a very short yet muscular stump of his forearm which he learned from a young age to grasp objects with. Newell was born with his stump and therefore learnt to use it like a hand from birth. On joining his high school wrestling team, he thought about quitting after his very first session because it was 'the hardest thing I had done in my life, but his mother did not allow him to, and instead he worked hard from then on.
