Hayden, an avid, multi-sport athlete, tells his story of his struggle to overcome multiple injuries and the insights he gained in dealing with a series of events that took him far off his chosen path. Hayden Whitcomb is a junior at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory School in San Francisco. An avid athlete, Hayden has played football, rowed crew, and played water polo competitively. He is a leader of SHC’s Student Launch Initiative and has recently begun training for Track and Field, specifically discus throwing and shot put.
