Football phenom, Timothy “TA” Alexander, had a bright future as a collegiate athlete until a car accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. Overnight, he went from being the talk of the town because he was a star athlete, to being the talk of the town because he would never walk again. Throughout his rehabilitation, however, he discovered that while physical care was important to recovery, more essential was the nurturing of his mind. By choosing to not only embrace, but to celebrate his circumstances, TA made a recovery that will leave you dumbfounded and believing, “We don’t need it to be easy, we just need it to be possible.”
