The Unstoppable Luis Vega: A Golfer's Tale of Resilience and Recovery
Listen now
Description
This week, I sit down with Luis Vega, a professional golfer whose life took an unexpected turn when he woke up paralyzed due to a spontaneous epidural hematoma, an exceedingly rare condition. A Spaniard who played collegiate golf in the United States, Luis returned to Spain after four years to chase his dream of making it on the PGA Tour, competing in mini-tour events around Europe and Asia. However, his journey took a dramatic turn when he was told he might never walk again. Despite this, Luis's recovery was nothing short of miraculous. Within days of an emergency spinal surgery, he regained his strength and ability to walk. Now, with doctors anticipating his return to golfing without restrictions, Luis shares with us how this near-paralysis experience has profoundly changed his perspective on life and golf.
