Summary

Not all tackles happen on the field. Che Morales, once on the brink of a promising CFL career, found his life upended by a surprising diagnosis. What started as shortness of breath, initially thought to be COVID, led to the shocking discovery of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). This episode delves into Che’s journey from being a university football powerhouse to grappling with a condition that thickens the walls of the heart’s left ventricle, ending his athletic dreams. As Che navigates this unexpected life shift, he shares his struggles and hopes, exploring what it means to redefine oneself when the playbook changes dramatically. Tune in for the wrap up as the fellas talk about a hail mary that Tokoyo is throwing to try and get more babies made before it's too late.
