From Cerebral Palsy to the End Zone: Kyle Chaboya’s Story

(This podcast was recorded on June 7th, 2023) Kyle Chaboya is one of my best friends. He's among the most inspiring, motivational, and persistent people I have ever met. In this episode, Kyle and I (Caleb Hodgson) chop it up about how our relationship started in 6th grade and continues today. We chatted about the challenges of growing up with Cerebral Palsy, what motivates him to this day, and what it was like to grow up and play sports together. We also dive into his favorite sports moments and his wheelchair rugby career post-high school till now.  Please follow Kyle on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/kylechaboya9/].
