Nate suffered a traumatic brain injury as a kid, which led to coordination impairments. But despite what others said, he never allowed this to limit or define him. In this episode Nate shares his journey to physical and mental health and what motivates him to strive for excellence. He also helps us break down the results and news from the last week!
