Vic Schaefer – Miracle, Hope and Faith
Coach Vic Schaefer describes the toughest challenge of his coaching career: nearly losing his son, Logan, after a severe wakeboarding accident that left him unconscious, seizing, and in critical condition. For 39 days, Schaefer never left his son’s side as Logan fought through life support, brain injury, and the inability to walk, talk, or feed himself.
