Thanks for posting.  It's easy for us to get caught up in our own misfortunes or dwell on some of the negative stories about athletes.  Seeing stories like this helps keep things in perspective.

This is a great story about turning a tragic incident into an opportunity. I was actually not aware until I read some of the supplemental stories that he not only has worked on a book regarding his story, but had a deal with IMG to do some broadcasting work, although he could not be compensated until he completed his degree in each instance. He also does motivational speaking, I believe, which is wonderful. His story is quite inspirational and best of luck to him in whichever path he chooses.
