It's easy to become jaded about stories of champion fitness athletes and bodybuilders who've overcome some sort of adversity. But once in a while, we're introduced to a man or woman whose struggle is so compelling, the odds so insurmountable, that it forces us to take notice and get inspired.
The story of Nick Scott is one such account. An ordinary teenager, Nick had the usual aspirations of young men of his age: sports and girls.
But his life changed on Aug. 17, 1998, when a tire blew out on his Buick Skylark. The car rolled over 5-1/2 times, ejected him, and then hit him in the back as a final indignity.
He tells the story in the new video "Rising Up: The Story Of Nick Scott."
In his hospital bed, Nick wasn't certain he'd ever walk again. Paralyzed from the waist down, he fell into a deep depression while his body weight eventually ballooned to more than 300 pounds. Coming back wasn't easy. But eventually, his resilient character began to fight back.
"What's the one thing you gain from losing everything?" he asks. "It's perspective. Because it wasn't about if my glass was half empty or half full. I was just grateful that I had a glass."

"Just leave the weight on, I need to warmup": Priceless!
I'm crying oh my goodness, I fell 50ft onto concrete last year and have incomplete paraplegia. I broke 6 bones (3 spinal,) had 2 major spinal Surgeries, and spent 3 months in a neurosurgery hospital. I've been so lost, so scared. I used to be really fit but I've gained 50lbs, this guy has finally given me my reality check, I'm gonna change.
Thank you so so much
How are you doing now?
Hope you’re doing great
U can do it😘
I've lost a little bit of weight and I'm still on a diet, and I've been going to the gym! It's going good :) thank you guys

“What’s the one thing you gain from losing everything? Perspective”
Powerful words, I truly respect this man
"Just leave the weight on, I needa warm up."
This man is a true legend.
I will never, ever complain about leg day again.
God forgive me for laughing too hard but your comment was too funny bro.
This is both funny as a joke but also genuine as a statement
I knew there was going to be comment about leg day on this video..
This gives you a reason to skip leg day.
Allways. That one prick
"What's the one thing you gain from losing everything? It's perspective because then it wasn't about if my glass was half empty or half full, I was just grateful that I had a glass." Holy shit.
Deep
That was the best part for me too man
Sam A amazing
It’s almost like we watched the same video bro
I’m a T5 paraplegic complete. I was injured in 2008 racing motocross. I was 16 years old, I’m 31 years old now. I go to the gym because of you…
Thank you.
Good stuff
This guy has motives me I. Am an amputee left leg I just stated working out again I am ex military was with SEAL TEAMS I watched his. Video truly inspiring
"Keep the weight on. I need to warm up" - most badass thing ever
Literally hardcore to the bone
"Just leave the weight on, I need to warm up."
Perfectly said, perfectly filmed, gave me an adrenaline rush.
I can see we are still on youtube XD
I legit started fucking clapping and said out lout,. "What a fucking man!"
I was gonna like, but then I realized you had 666 likes
I’m not crying. You’re crying. But seriously, of all the inspirational videos I’ve ever seen, this is the one that will stick in my mind forever.
Facts
That's true
Yes of course not. You are big boy.
Bet you forgot about it and I just reminded you 😂
Here I am, complaining about all the things I don't have, I haven't achieved, how life tricked me and messed up with me.... And then I see you man! Wow do I feel dumb right now. THANK YOU for your courage and for putting yourself out there. I AM grateful for all I have and who I am. God bless you man!
This is an *incredible* comeback story. Glad to have found this story here on RUclips.

God is good in the midst of a hard life
Believing in personal gods is also a disability. You can be so much more free in life if you realize that your the one who is control and not some imaginary being.
@@cernugaming That is your choice. I have lost a lot of my mobility, God gives us the power to fight.
@@cernugaming True
@@GailOwens I cannot choose actively to believe in a god. If I there is a lack of sufficient evidence to convince my brain then i can't trick my brain to choose to believe gods exist. Imagine trying to choose to believe that let's say santa clause is real.
But I do understand the emotional support it can provide if you believe in one. For me, it's believing in myself or using emotions to drive me. Living without a belief in a god can be just as beautiful and with purpose as living with one.
His physical condition is good but the best part is how wise he is, not everyone learns the same way from traumatic experiences, this guy perspective on life is awesome.
This guy actually came to my school and told us that anything is possible. He’s so inspiring. He also showed us that he is working on walking and wants us to know that you truly can do anything.
he came to my school too!! he signed my shoe lol
Totaly
Mine to!! Holy shit

God bless you mate may your life forever be love and happiness abundant!
Da Be to both of you : )
jerry aguilar I am sure you are here for a reason! 🤗
I have rods and screws also

Nick lost everything - and still somehow found the strength to stop making excuses. Realize now I have no excuse. I've never been inspired by 'inspirational videos' but I'm glad I ran across this. I actually am inspired now. Thank you guys.
He told us anything is possible.. to this very day I go over that in my head and I’m thankful that I met him
I have nothing but respect for this man

“ Leave the weight on, I needa warm up “
Gave me chills the first time I watched this years ago and still to this day it’s chilling.
And here I am, complaining because of my weight.
I'm done. Thank you for the inspiration.
I'm going to the gym now.
You are a true inspiration.
Still going to gym?
This made me cry.
I am 12 years old, and I was ran over bye a car when I was 9 and had to get a foot amputated and my other leg and I was bullied for three years,
And at one point I thought of killing my self but my life turned around and now I would never think of killing my self.

I remember my freshman year 4 years ago that Nick Scott came to south albany highschool telling us his story and everything and motivating us all and here i am now still listening to his story and still being motivated by him and still lifting weights while getting ready for the national guard. Thx for the motivation Nick god bless you man.

Why would they have the same name?
best bodybuilding story I have ever watched
Jumpstart rc Yes I agree
Jumpstart rc So inspiring... what a good guy
i kind of disagree. this would triggers SCI patients because he could walk but didnt work for it. shane dyck is the best motivational person for me!

I regret watching this vid because its boring as shet
This is the real definition of body positivity
I’m in tears bro, because we all have a story. I was on my way to become a professional boxer and now I have 2 bulging discs in my neck and can’t do that anymore. I’m in tears because I’m focusing on what I can still do and how I can contribute to life. Now I’m a personal trainer and get the opportunity to be a part of changing other peoples lives. Thank you for sharing
This makes me realize how lucky I am. I just need to stop complaining and fucking do it

Most likely people who skip leg day lol

@@carlosa9108 oof😂😂😂
he came to my school today and was really motivational talking to us about his life and his struggles.
This guy is the purest form of inspiration to everyone
My guy could probably go 70 mph on the wheelchair with those arms that's for sure
Sorry for laughing
he'd definitely gap that old skylark for sure
Hahhaha. Hell yeah hes an absolut UNIT

Not the emotional type of person but this hit me hard man I was starting tearing up
😮
i have been going in circles with weightloss for years, and this is a true wake up call for me. the fact that he overcame one of the worst circumstances you could think of brought a tear to my eye. i don’t have any excuses to be the way i am. thank you for sharing your story, it is truly motivating
Iʻm a T11 paraplegic incomplete. This gives me so much life to get my life back on track.
You can do it!
God bless you. Make peace with Jesus and he will be with you through the Journey.
you can do it brother
there is nothing a determined human can,t do , it,s just a matter of how much effort you want to accept for it
God bless you. I admire you.
“I realized it wasn’t about winning, it was about making a statement... that it can be done”
RESPECT 💯
Wow Nick, what an amazing testimony. I have a good friend of mine, who's husband also competed in the Para Olympics, and was a body builder as well. Sadly, he passed away a couple of years ago. His name was "Reggie Bennett". Thanks for being such an inspiration Nick. May God's best be yours. Peace & Blessings.
had severe disc herniation and gave up working out, saw this video and inspired me to workout again
what a great man
This man has a real reason to skip leg day, NOT U ! So go squat and be happy to be able to do it.
good comment
True. But i love leg days. Am i weird? 😀
@@ondradvorak no, me too
You are 100% right man
@@ondradvorak nope, I train legs 3x per week
If you ever felt like a bad person, remember there are people who disliked this video
Why are they bad people, just because they don’t like a certain video ?
@@tombecker7499 because people who comment this dont understand the meaning of dislike they just all think those people are morons for just disliking a video
Tom Baker, Lightcer. Because disliking a video with a man in a wheel chair who rises to be a muscle man while doing it in a wheelchair just to have someone dislike it is not normal, weird, just stupid.
@@tombecker7499 because it shows a lack of understanding and class.. it shows a eager desire to be less than, and the anti of something, and that something is a message that anyone with half a brain could see...
What is there to dislike about this video? Humans confuse me so much.
Timing is phenomenal! I’ll be 50 in December and have had Multiple Sclerosis since 2003. The last couple years I’ve been in & out of a wheelchair due to several issues not due to MS. Reconstructed right foot & heel. Rod placed in right leg bc of broken fibtib, two small breaks in left leg, hospitalized twice for kidney stones causing me to be septic, tore right labrum, and tore left labrum!! I’m struggling with no core strength, my weight fluctuating, and just pissed off!!
Thanks for giving me hope, a smile, and motivation!!
I read about Nick’s story in muscle and fitness years ago. His story and this video are very inspiring and motivating! Very impressive to see that hes doing so well and making the best of everything he can! So awesome and God bless you Nick!
This video gave me so much inspiration, I was rolled by a farm tractor and told I'd never walk again, as a sixteen year old boy that's the toughest thing to hear and I felt the same way he did, wishing I hadn't survived my accident. Now I've gone against all odds and I am walking fluently, this shows you that anything truly is possible with the right mindset. Thank you Nick for the inspiration this helped me make the impossible possible
Mike Reid wow, amazing!!
Luv you 😘 keep it up my boy, do your best and God will do rest 😉
Wow. That's something thats a constant thought when you're mowing or something. I always knew I would jump as far as possible away from it if it were to tip but I've never known what to do once I'm off. Will it be faster than me? Glad you're back up and walking again.
Do it

I feel so bad for complaining about my life now I know that I need to be great full for everything including walking
hipstorian 20p5 why? Theres millions of people who help people everyday at the cost of their own safety and dont have exposure, because its irrelevant.
+Jabroni And Cheese your comment is irrelevant.
So is yours, I was just saying dont feel bad about not doing something just because someone else worse off did something. Otherwise you should feel like shit about every handicapped person achieving success. No one does this shit for recognition, you either make something of your life or you dont, its irrelevant if someone's worse off than another in terms of achieving self success.
+Jabroni And Cheese chill.
Don't feel bad. Make changes instead
"Leave the weight on...I need to warm up."
What a badass. What a fucking badass.
I have MS and Fibromyalgia. Suffered fatigue and pain. One thing I’ve learned is to keep moving forward. Your story is truly inspiring. Thank you.
Dam I'm unappreciative thanks you for changing my prospective on life I know no one will read this but I needed it to change me and my thoughts thank you so much
Makes you realise that we spend so much time moaning about trivial shit. Question is could I turn my life round like this guy in the same situation? This guy is a true role model to everyone!.
Damn, this guy lost over 100lbs. I got two legs that work fine so I dont have any excuses..
You got this
sorry to bring your hopes a bit own but i think he managed to do it that fast because his legs got a lot smaller, trust me if you are doing anything bring your hopes as low as possible to not have the urge to quit mid way and good luck :)
That was his point

Your such a beautiful person 💛 and have given me hope . I was in a car accident and suffered a head injury and at times I just wanted to give up and lost my friends , job , memories , went back to school to try to relearn. They programs laughed and told me not to waste my time any longer at college because it would take me 100 years to graduate. You given me hope and advice thank you from the bottom of my ❤ heart.
The final minutes of this video made me accept who I'm and work on myself to be better person in every aspect.. this is a God send motivational video

I’ve been in a wheelchair for the last 3 years due to a motorist that was texting while driving and struck me and changed my life forever. Watching this video gives me some hope and meaning to what I can achieve if I put my mind into it, very inspirational story.

The most profound thing I ever heard in a very long time. "What's the one thing you gain from losing everything?"
"It's perspective. Because it wasn't about if my glass was half empty or half full. I was just grateful that I had a glass."
This is what I needed to hear to make a change in my life. Thank you for being who you are and being so inspiring to others.

2:50 is sadly probably one of the main reasons.
@@dylanboyd7249 yeah.. those dislikes don't make sense.

Some people live to be negative no matter what.
i just dont get how 2.3k people can dislike a video like this. so heartbreaking to see such an amazing person live his life like there is no tomarrow and show people that they CAN and have people dislike it. its just sad
This guy is such an inspiration to all those out there who think life has given them a bad deck of cards. Anything and everything is possible.

Exactly!
Then i have a huge disability
I absolutly love seeing people like this. Because it shows that no matter what happens, it all comes down to a choice. Sit around and complain about yourself and your life, or put in the effort to make a change for yourself and it is so so motivating to hear his story.

Thank you for the Inspiration Nick. You are a true Champion. best wishes from Ireland.
What a BEAUTIFUL testimony!!!!!
"Accept who you are ... become the best you can be".

This story made me cry.. I made it my goal to step on stage last year and i did it! although i didnt place 1st, i did it for him! :) Ill be doing my second show this year and aint no body stopping me! :)
He is one of the best storyteller I've ever known. God bless you buddy!
