Episode 2: “Broken But Not Defeated” with Nate Marroquin
This episode of The Coach Crosbie Strikes Back Podcast will be one that will leave many of my listeners and subscribers inspired, emotional, amazed, heartbroken, alive, reborn, and, for some, maybe a little embarrassed at themselves...
In this episode I welcome my friend and former colleague Nate Marroquin, a San Diego medical school student, Navy Veteran, thrill seeker, and all around bass ass dude! He has been lifting hardcore for years and it shows in his size and his physique. I had the privilege of training Nate while we worked for the same gym company and was amazed at his focus, relentlessness, honesty, tenacity, and never quit attitude, very rare for people nowadays but oozing out of every body part this young man.
That all changed on March 11th, 2018 after a brutally devastating mountain biking accident which shattered Nate’s C7 vertebrae and fractured his C6 and T4. His C7 had to be replaced with a block and fused anteriorly and posteriorly because it completely exploded, so to speak. When he crashed he initially had no movement in either leg but slowly gained control in the left leg by the time he arrived to the hospital via helicopter evacuation. After his first surgery there was still no movement in his right leg and he began wondering if he would never have control of right leg again or even walk again... The rest you’ll have to listen to the entire podcast to find out whether he did or not an believe me when I tell you that this is one of the most remarkable stories I’ve ever heard and Nate is often approached by many local San Diegans and told that he was their inspiration to make a change for the better in regards to their health & fitness.
Below are all his social media account tags, ambassadorships, and sponsors. Check out his YouTube channel to see what he talks with me about visually to get an idea of what this young man had to overcome...
