Once A Cardinal | Episode ft. Mike Haynes

From the hardwood to heartbreak and back to inspiring greatness.

Mike Haynes was once a shining star on the high school basketball court, a talent so bright it carried him all the way to the University of Texas. But life had a detour in store that no one could have predicted.

In a senseless act of road rage, Mike was shot, a moment that would change his life forever. For many, that would have been the end of the story. For Mike, it was just the beginning of a new chapter.

Rather than surrendering to his circumstances, Mike chose to rise. He earned his degree in Kinesiology, channeled his pain into purpose, and went on to found Camp for All, a safe haven where children with disabilities can come together, have fun, and discover that life has no limits, even from a wheelchair.

In this episode, we sit down with Mike to talk about resilience, reinvention, and what it truly means to live life to the fullest. His story will challenge you, move you, and remind you that your greatest chapter may still be ahead.
