Episode description

James Perdue always dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player.  He had the attitude of being invincible and that nothing could stop him.

Going to college on a baseball scholarship, the dream felt closer than ever.  But just two weeks in, everything changed in a game of pick-up football.  After scoring a touchdown, James took a late hit that instantly made him a quadriplegic.

While the adjustment was difficult at first, James set his sights on a new dream: to inspire others to overcome their own struggles.  Today, Dr. James Perdue is known as "The Professor of Perseverance", a renowned speaker and author.
