Episode Overview
A standout athlete in track and field since middle school, Joshua Duncan set his sights on competing at a Division 1 college. The pandemic and an injury at the state track meet derailed those plans. Little did Joshua know that a coach from one of our nation’s oldest and most prestigious military academies watched him race at state before he was sidelined with his injury. Dr. Pearson talks with Joshua about how “plan B” is now his dream of a lifetime.
