"If you don't like where you are, do something about it."In this episode of Your Booster Shot, host Adam Busch sits down with former student-athlete turned motivational powerhouse, Chris Norton. After a life-altering football injury left him with a 3% chance of ever moving again, Chris didn't just survive—he redefined what it means to take "Radical Responsibility" for one's life.As school leaders and educators, we often face "3% moments" where the odds are stacked against our students or our systems. Chris shares how the qualities of resilience, the courage to ask for help, and the power of community are the ultimate tools for navigating change in K–12 education.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. The 3% Mindset: How to move forward when the outcome seems impossible.
2. Radical Responsibility: Why your response to adversity is your greatest leadership tool.
3. The "Rescue" Trap: How over-helping students can accidentally rob them of their self-esteem.
4. Strength in Vulnerability: Why the best leaders are the ones who know how to ask for help.
