Dr. James Perdue Professional Motivational / Inspirational Speaker and Author of “One More Play” is my guest. Dr. James’s website: www.JamesPerdueSpeaks.com James was a normal 19 year old with expectation of playing professional baseball, the major leagues.  He was attending Martin Methodist College in Pulaski, Tennessee on a baseball scholarship.  He had the attitude of being invincible. After only being in college for two weeks and playing one college game in the fall, unexpected tragedy came a calling. On September 11, 1983, James became a quadriplegic, dislocating three vertebras in his neck, from playing a football game. The doctor said, “James, I’m sorry. You’ll never walk again and you might be paralyzed from your neck down.” Later, the doctor advised his family to put him in a nursing home; he would be too much of a burden for them to take care. Hear how Dr. Perdue worked hard to achieve success as a teacher and coach. He has been awarded Fox 17 Top Teacher of the Week 2005, Teacher of the Year 20
