Bel13ve: Injury, Persistence, Recovery with Jack Jablonski

This week on The MiFit Podcast I’m honored to chat with Jack Jablonski. Jack’s life changed forever after he was hit illegally during a high school hockey game at Benilde-St. Marget’s in 2011. The resulting injury left him quadriplegic. In a flash, Jack rose to local and national recognition. The ensuing outpour of support has been a key factor in helping Jack work towards his personal goal to someday skate again. Today, Jack continues down his road to recovery, believing that every day holds the potential for something amazing to happen. Jack is an incredible inspiration to everyone he comes into contact with and is also a living testament that it’s not about what life throws at you, rather, it’s how you respond.
