In this two-part special of Sports Will Save Us All, host Sasha Graham sits down with Robert and Ryan DeLena, the remarkable father-son duo behind the memoir Without Restraint: How Skiing Saved My Son’s Life. Together, they share their extraordinary story of resilience, adventure, and the transformative power of skiing. In Part 1, they dive into Ryan’s challenging childhood, marked by misdiagnoses, harmful behavior modification, and the emotional rollercoaster of navigating a system that failed him. Tune in to hear how a passion for skiing changed everything and brought their family back from the brink. Without Restraint: How Skiing Saved My Son’s Life is available wherever you buy books, including at my favorite, bookshop.org
