Getting therapy, learning how to deal with PTSD- all that has given David a new perspective on everything that's happened in the two freak accidents he was involved in.
Imagine having your dreams shattered in an instant. That’s exactly what happened to David Mellor when a car accident at 18 ended his hopes of pitching in the major leagues. In this gripping episode of 'Back from Broken', hosted by Vic Vela, Mellor opens up about the relentless battle with PTSD that followed. Sleepless nights and cold sweats became his new normal, but Mellor's story doesn't end there.
Through sheer determination and therapy, he found a way to turn his life around and eventually made it to Major League Baseball, not as a player, but in another pivotal role.
