Paralyzed to Powerful: Lessons from a Quadriplegic's Journey
What paralyzes you?
We all face obstacles that threaten to hold us back. For Robert Paylor, his paralysis wasn’t a metaphor.
In the biggest game of his life, competing for the collegiate rugby national championship, Robert suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Doctors told him he’d never walk or move his hands again. But Robert refused to accept that fate.
Paralyzed to Powerful is more than a story of recovery—it’s a guide to overcoming the unseen challenges that keep you from achieving your goals. Through personal experiences, hard-earned lessons, and practical tools, Robert will help you identify the mental and emotional barriers that hold you back and build the mindset to rise above your challenges.
You may never face a spinal cord injury, but we all face moments that threaten to define us. This book will help you write a different ending.

Fantastic book and great reminder!
He laid out his journey passionately and provided the reader with a much needed reminder that although life is hard it is beautiful and the beauty is in the unexpected journey and keeping a positive attitude through that.
