How do you rebuild your life after losing both hands and parts of your feet?
In Episode #98 of Pre-Zero Sports Talk, Sid Bensalah sits down with Scott Martin, award-winning soccer coach, educator, disability advocate, and author of Play From Your Heart.
After a life-threatening infection led to septic shock, a month-long coma, and the loss of both hands and parts of his feet, Scott was forced to rebuild his life, identity, confidence, and purpose from the ground up.
This conversation explores resilience, adaptive sport, soccer coaching, leadership, parenting, adoption, disability advocacy, empathy, accountability, identity after trauma, and why coaching is not about control, but about helping people learn, grow, and play from the heart.
