Rod Cate
On August 14, 1981, Rod Cate broke his neck playing high school football and in a split second, had a life-changing neck injury.  He went from rising star athlete to quadriplegic.  Rod overcame his physical limitations and mental obstacles to walk again, refocus his life, excel in his chosen profession, and inspire others to overcome adversity and build their best life.  In 2018, Rod wrote Get Back Up, detailing his life journey from a wheelchair to getting back up on his feet literally and never looking back.  His book and his podcast Rocket Motivation are created to motivate others to not allow life’s sometimes devasting twists and turns ruin their quest for a great life.  Rod has been practicing law for 32 years and represents doctors and other health care providers in medical malpractice lawsuits.  He is a partner with the law firm of Hand Arendall Harrison Sale.  He has been named a Best Lawyer in America.  He has three grown children and lives with his wife in Spanish Fort, Alabama.
