Hello Warriors and Battle Buddies!
Welcome to A BATTLE WITHIN, Episode 126 with today’s special guest Nick Krantz
Nick proudly comes to us from the town he grew up in, Mentor Ohio! He’s lives there with the wife and three boys.
Today Nick shares with us some of his perspectives from his 14-16 concussions and other head injuries he has experienced.
It gets especially difficult for Nick as college football player who goes onto having to deal with Second Impact Syndrome. Luckily he finishes college and works his way into building a very robust online community and offers online training and nutrition courses.
In December 2019 Nick experiences another head injury and this one leaves a lasting fingerprint on his life and well-being. Not to be out done he gets hit on the head with a ceiling fan in July 2020. He has been working through things to this day and is very transparent about his journey.
He talks with us about how the pandemic hindered his healing, the need to find his own answers, the digestive issues that have presented in his life and how he works himself out of depression to name a few.
Like any trainer he also speaks to the need to embrace the suck and the frustrations he feels with not being able to workout himself currently. However Nick believes in maintaining a positive attitude as much as possible and that presents throughout the conversation!
Let us know your thoughts!
