Scot Pollard had faced setbacks throughout his life, but he had never quit. That changed during a heart transplant evaluation in Nashville. After three years of heart failure left him exhausted, depressed and unable to provide for his family, the NBA champion told his wife he could not fight anymore. She refused to let him give up.
Pollard joins The Resiliency Project to share how that moment helped save his life and led to a heart transplant just 10 days later. He explains why every day now feels like a bonus, how he has learned to live with new physical limits and why his wife founded Pearls of Life to support families traveling for transplants. From surrendering control over his life to redefining what discipline looks like, Pollard shares why resilience reveals who you are when circumstances leave you with every reason to quit.
