Ep 006 Overcoming Spinal Cord Injury – Mike Morrow

When an automobile accident left Mike a paraplegic it was a hard pill of life to swallow. Knowing how to accept challenges because of being an athlete Mike was determined to persevere and overcoming his paralyzing obstacles.

Sherri and Mike have been married for 30 years and have two children a son Nathan and a daughter Riley. Mike is a successful coach, baseball and football, while also being an award-winning educator.

One unique discussion point... It used to make me very angry when someone told me, "Oh, I forgot you were in a wheelchair." Now I've matured and now take that as an ultimate form of flattery/compliment, Mike says.
