A few years ago, Nick Seyda saw his soccer-playing days in jeopardy when he received news that he had complications with his knee.

“I remember coming home from school, and my mom opened the door and there was a pair of crutches there. She was like ‘You’re going to have to be using these for a while.’ and that kind of hit me, like, 'I can’t play soccer for a while now.'”
