Emeka Nnaka loved playing football and having fun with his friends. At 6’5″ tall, his friends called him the Enforcer, and he relished being able to take care of them. Then, a spine crushing football injury changed all that in the blink of an eye. In this episode of The Spirit of Leading, I talk to Emeka about how he got through those years of recovery and reinventing his life.
Now Emeka is building a career as a motivational speaker, and he is growing his stature as a mentor and coach and is learning new ways to take care of his friends and have fun.
