Once Josh was released from the hospital he knew he had a long road to recovery. Josh was very limited with movement and had to wear a neck brace. For the first time in his life he wasn’t superman. “I felt like a super hero for most of my life, but now I had no super powers. I couldn’t even go to the fridge and get a glass of water. I had to rely on those that truly loved and cared for me to support me. They held me down and I couldn’t have made it without them.” Them, includes his immediate family, Chaparral coaches, Wyoming coaching staff, former teammates and his basketball trainers.

All of Wyonation is wishing you well Josh.
You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him/her.

Ex-Chaparral, Wyoming star Josh Adams back in business after car crash (Denver Post)

PARKER— Dating to his prep career at Chaparral High School, Josh Adams has had a reputation for being tough. University of Wyoming assistant basketball coach Jeremy Shyatt noticed that toughness in the first game he saw Adams play at an AAU tournament in Dallas.

“They threw an alley-oop (pass) to him and he hit his shoulder on the backboard and landed on his neck,” Shyatt said. “I called my dad (then-Wyoming head coach Larry Shyatt) and said: ‘Josh might be out the rest of the summer.’ He got right back up and told his (AAU) coaches: ‘No, I’m fine. I’m fine.’ It was the running joke from that point on — I always called him a crash-test dummy. It was how he threw his body around all the time.”
