Coaching From the Heart
Soccer coach Scott Martin on his new book, and coaching on and off the pitch.
We’re joined by Scott Martin, host of the Life’s a Road Trip podcast and author of the new book, Play From Your Heart, which takes us through his journey of accepting his disability after surviving life-threatening illnesses and having to have both of his hands and feet amputated.
Scott is an award-winning soccer coach, educator, and advocate within the disability community. With an advanced national coaching license and more than 30 years of experience coaching select youth, high school, and college athletes, he has earned four Coach of the Year titles and guided multiple teams to state championships. He was a soccer coach and teacher before his illness and amputations. His new book, Play From Your Heart, released yesterday, chronicles his journey to return to the field with his new disability.
