What would you do if everything you built your identity around—your body, your career, your future—was taken from you overnight?

In this episode, you’ll hear a true story of survival, reinvention, and what it really means to play from the heart when life gives you no other option.

If you’ve ever felt stuck after a life-altering setback, questioned your purpose, or wondered how to keep moving forward when the path disappears, this conversation speaks directly to you. This isn’t about motivation—it’s about resilience, identity, and learning how to live fully when the rules of your life suddenly change.

This equally heartwarming as it is inspirational story follows the extraordinary journey of Scott Martin, a lifelong soccer coach whose life changed forever after a sudden illness left him in a coma and resulted in the amputation of both hands and parts of his feet.

Scott shares how he went from elite athlete and nationally ranked coach to learning how to sit up in bed again—and eventually back to coaching, leading, and transforming lives. You’ll hear how music, creativity, and trust became the foundation of his coaching philosophy, why “turning off your brain and playing from your heart” became a life mantra, and how a group of overlooked kids helped write one of the most powerful comeback stories you’ll ever hear.

This is a raw, honest conversation about identity loss, discrimination, rebuilding confidence, fatherhood through adoption, and what it looks like to lead others when you’ve had to relearn how to live yourself.

Today's amazing guest is none other than the one and only Scott Martin! Scott is a former elite soccer player and nationally recognized coach whose life was forever changed by a near-fatal illness. After surviving a month-long coma and multiple amputations, Scott rebuilt his life, returned to coaching, adopted five children, and has most recently written Play from the Heart, a powerful memoir about resilience, creativity, and leading with humanity. His story bridges sports, disability advocacy, and personal growth, offering hard-earned wisdom for anyone navigating life after loss.

Press play and give yourself an hour with a story that will permanently change how you view adversity, resilience, and what’s still possible in your life.
