Football Player’s Career Ending Play Results in Others’ Recovery w/ Micah McLendon

Little did he know it would be the last defensive tackle he would ever make, but start a movement to help thousands recover and triumph!

Join me, Dr. “Coach” Frank Maghella, with my guest today, a long-time patient who played his last play ever at his Homecoming football game against his school’s rival team. A play ending in paralysis ultimately wound up in a foundation that helps others recover from injury. Listen to my interview with the most inspirational Micah McLendon to hear the story of what turned out to be the last defensive tackle he would ever make and how he went from paralysis and immediate surgery, through rehabilitative therapies to starting his own foundation, which is now helping others not only recover, but even help uninjured athletes achieve their goals. Hear this inspiring story right from the man who started it all by rising from and out of the ashes. A true story that tugged at my heartstrings, having suffered injuries in high school playing football and choosing a career as a doctor of chiropractic over playing ball in school and professionally. Micah’s story really rekindles my purpose to provide that too. Tune in now to hear Micah’s story and get inspired!
