In this powerful episode of the Pro Mindset® Podcast, host Craig Domann sits down with Chris Norton, a former college football player whose life changed forever after a catastrophic spinal cord injury. Given only a 3% chance to ever move again below the neck, Chris defied all odds—not only walking across the stage at his college graduation but later walking his bride down the aisle, a moment that inspired over 400 million people worldwide.
Chris shares the raw, behind-the-scenes journey of the injury that changed everything, the grueling rehab process, and the Pro Mindset® principles that helped him rewrite his story. With emotional depth and authenticity, he reveals how faith, hope, and radical responsibility were the cornerstones of his transformation.
“Life will give you challenges, but you always have the power to choose how you respond. Your response is where your strength lives.” — Chris Norton
Episode Takeaways:
● Radical Responsibility is the turning point for transformation

But Chris's story doesn’t stop with physical recovery. Alongside his wife Emily, Chris has fostered over 23 children and adopted five, living a life fueled by purpose, love, and service. Their inspiring journey is featured in the award-winning Netflix documentary 7 Yards: The Chris Norton Story, which chronicles his grit, gratitude, and grace through life’s toughest moments.
