  From Trauma to Trophies with JoJo Polk

  Jul 28, 20261h 17m

  Life can change in an instant. From being at the peak of his football career with a contract from the Kansas City Chiefs to being paralyzed with doctors telling him he would never walk again, this was the reality for JoJo Polk. Instead of accepting his reality, JoJo decided to change it, and through sheer determination and luck, he not only made a full recovery, but was lifting a trophy for the Grand Rapids Rampage just 13 months later. JoJo Polk is a former American Football player who played 8 seasons in the Arena Football League winning the 2001 Most Inspirational Player of the Year award in the season following his injury as well as two championships in 2006 and 2009. After his football career, he became the owner of CORE Fitness Studios in Raleigh and has put his same passion for football into personal training. JoJo is also a father of two kids and a mentor for Journeymen Triangle which mentors young men (ages 13-19) during their transformation to manhood through modeling healthy masculinity.
