#167: The Healing Power of Therapy & Soccer: Overcoming a Traumatic Brain Injury with Jon Kinsler

About this episode

In 2015, Jon Kinsler was involved in a near fatal car accident that would leave him face-to-face with his fiercest competition to date - A severe traumatic brain injury.

"Don't give up on you!"

Jonathan "Jon" Kinsler is a survivor, a competitor, and a coach! Even at a young age Jon understood what hard work meant and he knew what was truly important in life. These attributes would be tested in the most fiercest way possible in 2015 when a near death motor vehicle accident would result in a severe traumatic brain injury.

But that is not where Jon's story would end!

Fighting back Jon would lean on the unwavering support of his family while being supported by the incredible staff at Brooks Rehabilitation and Halifax Hospital. Today, Jon is living proof that none of us know what we are capable of until we are faced with tragedy.

I hope you will find the inspiration and encouragement offered through Jon Kinsler's story as a reminder that this life is worth fighting for! Sometimes, you just have to be willing to give it everything you've got!
