“I don’t know, I’d have to see,” he said.
Frech will seemingly have a number of main man choices once he’s completed competing for this 12 months’s Mirrorball trophy.
After he posted an Instagram video of himself shirtless and understanding at the gymnasium, “Magic Mike Live,” the male revue impressed by the Channing Tatum film, commented one phrase — “Hired.”

Frech isn’t the first amputee to compete in the show’s 21-year historical past. Para-snowboarder Amy Purdy, a double below-knee amputee, and Iraq War veteran Noah Galloway, who also misplaced a leg above the knee, both took the ground before him.
However, Frech — who was born with congenital limb variations, acquired his first prosthetic when he was just 11 months previous and had his left leg amputated at 2 — is the first contestant to use a hinge knee working blade to dance.
“Noah Galloway used what’s called a microprocessor knee … that has a computer built into it … it’s basically designed for stability so that it’ll sometimes catch you if the knee buckles,” he explained.
Frech opts for a hinge knee in his daily life, which permits him to transfer quicker, but is less secure on the dance flooring.
“If my weight is not in the right position I am substantially more likely to fall,” he said.
“Also dancing in my running blade is a risk too, but we’re just sort of taking a risk to give me the opportunity to have the most movement and freedom on the dance floor.”
Frech was also born with only one finger on his left hand. As a toddler, his amputated foot’s big toe was transplanted to his hand to use as a thumb.
His dance companion, Daniella Karagach, choreographs with all of this in thoughts.
“Diagonal steps, chassés in certain directions … I mean, the amount of solutions that she’s had to come up with is unbelievable,” he gushed.
“Sometimes I’m like, ‘I don’t know if I can,’ and she’s like, ‘You got it.’”
He’s also spurred on by his responsibility as a position model to kids with disabilities.
“It means the world,” he said of understanding he’s making an impression on kids like little Decker, whose mom posted a video of him watching Frech in a now-viral Instagram post with the caption, “You finally see someone on TV that looks like you.”

“Videos like that of that kid jumping on the bed, watching me dance, that’s something that I’ll remember forever,” said Frech, an alum of USC and the first above-the-knee amputee to be recruited to an NCAA Division I Track and Field program.
Frech, who earned his two gold Paralympic medals for high bounce and 100-meter dash, believes it’s important to convey levity to incapacity — and aptly named his and Karagach’s workforce “Footloose.”
“People think disability is such a taboo, negative thing … but it’s not the case. It doesn’t need to be like that,” he said.
“Disability is a normal part of society … It’s not the worst thing in the world.”
