This week Josh and Corey chat with former NHLer, author, burn survivor, and Cognitive Performance Coach Aaron Volpatti.
When he was a teenager, Aaron survived a burn accident that left him with second and third-degree burns to over 40% of his body. He lay in a burn unit for months, thinking that the accident had ended his dream of getting a hockey scholarship to an Ivy League school.
A few years later, he was lacing them up at Brown University, and a short time after that as an NHLer with the Vancouver Canucks.
How did he do it?
Tune in to find out.
This is Aaron's Second Story.

What is Second Story?
Everyone has a second story, some people have a few. It’s the story we create after we’ve had that moment in our lives that move us in a different direction. For some people, its personal, they lose a loved one, or they find one. For others, it is professional, they chase a dream, or they miss out on one. Its what we do after that often defines the direction our life will go. Are you going to rest on your laurels? Or push even harder. Are you going to sit and stew, or stand up and fight? Are you going to stop at one story? Or are you going to re-write your own history? This is Second Story.
