Makayla Noble is a former world champion cheerleader who, in a freak backyard cheer accident, ended up falling and breaking her neck, immediately becoming quadriplegic. She played the hand she was dealt, rehabbed at the Adaptive Training Foundation, has found herself and continues to push her limits. This young lady has a spirit and brightness that is unmatched and a determination that shined through when she crawled 40 yards on turf. Not only is Makayla's story about overcoming an accident but she also dealt with serious mental health issues as a competitive cheerleader. She describes her daily battle of grinding to be the best competitor she could be while also balancing her life as a high school student, friend and daughter. This story is going to touch you because Makayla is very honest about what she struggled with prior to this accident yet she felt like God laid this path before her to become who she is today. 

We also have a fun cameo from Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys. He jumps in to surprise her with a signed jersey and support. So tune in because Makayla's episode is going to hit you right in my heart.
