Life-Changing Event

And on this particular day, my eighth season or seventh season playing, I made a tackle I had made so many times in my life from high school, college, pros, and I ended up on my back, and in this particular place I lost all movement. Through that, I was diagnosed with a spinal contusion, and my whole life that I invested into this character was gone, and all I had known myself to be, all I had known myself to do, was be the sports person. That character was gone. And now I had to look in the mirror and say, 'Well, who am I now, or who do I want to be?' And I was in that predicament. Luckily for me, or ironically for me, I found yoga, which is union. I found myself.
