Welcome to the Edd and Mylons. This podcast is for those who want to do more. See more and be more.

Welcome back to Max Out everybody. I'm Ed Mylons and today's a very special program and one that I've worked very hard to put together for you.

I wanted to introduce you to this incredibly inspirational person in my right. You know I've often had people in the program as you know that have incredibly inspiring words.

But every so often I introduce you to somebody who's just an inspiring being an inspiring person. And the man to my right absolutely fits that description.

With no further ado let me introduce my good friend Eric LeGrandt. Eric thank you for being here.

Thank you for having me on our Edd. Truly a blessing. Welcome to California.

California. I hate Edd. What do I like man? I like it.

Welcome to the beach. So everybody that's watching on YouTube you immediately can see that Eric is in a wheelchair.

If you're listening to this on audio we're going to describe this incredible story to you.

But it's one of the most remarkable stories that I've been following for the better part of you know going on going on nine years from the minute your injury took place to today.

I've tracked your progress and I think you by the way one of the greatest speakers in the world too which people are going to hear about soon.

But why don't we get right into it because I think most people may have seen you before but may not know the story.

So take us back to where your life changed which was October 16th 2010. Your life was altered forever on that day correct.

So tell everybody what happened that day.

When we were in the fourth quarter at Medlife Stadium playing the Army Black Knights. And I remember we were just when we had just tied the game up 17-17 so I was on the kickoff team in my head.

Let me run down the field make a big play. Can our defense out here get a quick three now and get the ball back to our office so they can have a two minute each other score.

That's my moral going down on the field and that game I was facing the double team so soon the balls kicked off two guys came to block me.

But on that particular kickoff I was able to split right through there man out of the 30-40 yard head start and this guy now I knew I was going to make a tackle on.

And as I'm running down the field I'm saying do I want to use my head or do I want to use my shoulder.

And everybody knows when you play football if you're going to use your head you got to see what you hit.

I said this is going to be a big collision. Let me use my shoulder to keep my head out the play.

In the video you'll see my teammate actually got there about a half a second before I did any trip to guy up.
