24: The journey of Ryan Shazier

“We saw Ryan’s life change in an instant. It made us not
take anything for granted..it can happen to anyone”





Ryan Shazier is a former linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers
after being drafted by the team back in 2014. Fast forward to
December 4th 2017, it was during a Monday night football game
when hearts stopped all over the world as Ryan went down in a
game against the Steelers, clutched his back and couldn’t get
back up. 






In this episode we hear from Ryan’s mother, Shawn Shazier. Shawn
takes us back to the beginning of Ryan’s journey when he first
fell in love with the game at just 5 years old, through his
battle with Alopecia right up to his retirement from pro
sports.  Speaking candidly about the moment she saw Ryan get
hurt on the field, the incredible determination he showed
throughout his rehab process and her unwavering faith that her
son would heal and walk again.
