What might be one of the best comeback stories ever known, Kersten rebuilt himself from nothing becoming a 2x All-American, placing 3rd in the Nation at 197 pounds two years later. He survived a disease that gave him less than a 10% chance of survival while effected every organ in his body. The disease ate away his flesh, causing a risk of limb amputation. He lost 65 pounds of muscle, lost the feeling in his hands and feet, lost the ability to walk, was put on blood thinners to prevent abnormal clots. Kersten went on to prove that impossible is nothing!

This letter was received from Fletcher before his life-threatening heart transplant in December of 2017. Kolton reached out to C.T. when he seen him struggling and wanted to thank him for the motivation he offered all while telling him his story. Kolton watched C.T. Fletchers first viral motivational video on YouTube while fighting for his life in the ICU. Fletcher’s video motivated Kolton with the idea that he too could escape hell on earth, achieve his goals and pay it forward through coaching and motivational speaking much like Fletcher has. C.T. Fletcher’s video is posted here. WARNING this video does contain strong language.
