Simon Keith: Two Heart Transplants, One Unstoppable Comeback
At 21 years old, professional soccer player Simon Keith was told his heart was irreparably damaged and he had only months to live. He got a heart transplant, made a full recovery, and became the first athlete in history to play professional sports after a heart transplant — a comeback story he calls "halftime," not the end of the game. Host Ramon Dominguez, a retired professional jockey who rode in over 21,000 races, sits down with Simon for a conversation about resilience, discipline, and legacy — from growing up the "runt of the litter" in a soccer family, to playing pro soccer with no nerve connection between his transplanted heart and his brain, to founding a foundation that's raised over $10 million for transplant kids.
