Seth Jahn (born December 25, 1982) is an American 7-a-side soccer player. After High School, Jahn accepted athletic scholarships to St. Andrews University. After a brief professional soccer career, Jahn attended and completed Ridge Votech Firefighter Academy, then worked in emergency medical services at Tampa General in the ER and ICU. From Florida, Jahn then signed in the US Army in 2003 and completed Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training in 2004. Jahn completed multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan throughout his service. After leaving active duty, Jahn remained in the military by joining the Florida National Guard. In 2008, Jahn became a law enforcement officer for the state of Florida and later joined the S.W.A.T. team at Lake Wales Police Department where he served honorably for three years. There were a number of remarkable events of survival that qualified and made Jahn eligible for the US National Paralympic team. In 2009, Jahn was nearly killed on a parachute jump training when both his main canopy and his reserve parachute failed to deploy. After waking up in the hospital, he spent a short stint inpatient, and jumped the very same day he was cleared. In 2010, while engaged in combat operations, he was severely injured and was left with a number of injuries including a traumatic brain injury, five spinal cord injuries, peripheral, femoral, and phrenic nerve damage rendering him a hemiplegic for nearly six months. Jahn spent the next two years in hospitals recovering from his injuries with only one goal, to return to the military. The following month he was cleared from rehabilitation, he was injured and sent back to the hospital in a near-fatal high speed motorcycle accident in Tampa, Florida. Jahn briefly returned to the military where he served with 20th Special Forces Group (Airborne) before being honorably discharged. After the military, Jahn became a badge and credentialed special agent for the US government. Two years later in 2014, he became a US government security contractor. Jahn was injured once again in the Middle East, after being hit by shrapnel from an enemy rocket, Jahn suffered a punctured lung, ruptured eardrum, and another traumatic brain injury.
