泰勒·坎贝尔（Tyler Campbell）在大学大三时被诊断出多发性硬化症（MS）时的生活发生了根本性的改变。
Born in 1986 in Houston, Texas, Tyler had received a football scholarship to attend San Diego State University (SDSU) and was a consistent scholar-athlete. Despite the challenges of living with MS, Tyler continued to play the game.
In fact, he was one of the first athletes to play Division I college football with the condition. He graduated from SDSU in 2009.
目前，泰勒（Tyler）以专业发言人的身份旅行该国，传达了自我价值的授权信息。他还举办自己的广播节目，Real Lyfe Reel Talk。
要了解有关这个鼓舞人心的人的更多信息，我们向泰勒问了一些有关如何被诊断为MS的问题，他希望人们能从他那里学到什么。
谈论在经历MS症状（在您的诊断之前和之后）的同时踢大学橄榄球的感觉。
Before MS, football was my sole focus. I was all in on contributing my best to my teammates. I understood the plays when they were called from the sideline without even guessing. I trusted myself to do my part every snap.
After MS came into my life, I noticed that my body wasn’t as strong and when I told it to do certain things — there seemed to be a newfound delay in reaction.
在诊断之前，我感到压力和自由的程度要少得多。突然，疲劳成为我最大的对手，我总是感到如此疲倦。
I lacked confidence in myself to do my job, and whenever plays were called, I had to intently focus more than usual to make sure I was reading signals correctly. What had once come naturally became a challenge at every turn.
How did being diagnosed with MS change your relationship with your family?
我的家人从第一天起就给了我他们所有的支持 - 他们知道我不想被支持，只是得到了支持。但是他们给了我空间让我的瀑布，流下眼泪，并在需要时集结在我周围。
作为前LVN（有执照的职业护士），我妈妈对MS有很深刻的了解，但是对我父亲来说，这尤其难以让我不停地认为我患有这种疾病是他的错。
当他开始带我去物理疗法并与我一起参加时，我们作为男人的血统会非常明亮。这是一个非常特别的时刻。在那一刻，我们生活在一个家庭口号，“坎贝尔永远不会退出”。
我的意思是，我家中的许多男人都习惯于努力工作。这些人一直习惯于克服，并愿意走出去做从未做过的事情，以便他们在他人眼中可能成为英雄。
For example, my great-great-grandfather was among one of the first few African Americans to own land in Smith County in East Texas. My grandfather B. C. Campbell fought in World War II and was present on D-Day with the black Army Air Corps.
因此，对我来说，辞职从来没有选择。
What did you learn as an athlete that has helped you through your MS journey?
At some point, my MS started teaching me things about myself. I learned that I was already accustomed to self-sacrifice for the betterment of achieving a goal.
Sports had equally prepped me for the process of getting knocked down. It was natural muscle memory for me to search tirelessly for an avenue to get back up. I live for competition with myself, and nothing about that has changed since getting diagnosed.
I have been on the floor numerous times, but in those moments with MS, I have never counted myself out, just taken a second to gather myself to continue the journey.
What do you most hope people take away from your talks?
我了解到，我是一个可以公开谈论自己在哪里步履蹒跚，犯错误的人，并且我正在作为MS病人脆弱的战斗与之抗争。
伙计，这并不容易。我只希望人们每次呼吸和每句话都会感受到我的心。祈祷和周日的治疗课程极大地帮助了我到达那个地方。
最后，我学会了被启发说：“那个家伙，他不是那么特别。他像我一样是人。如果可以的话，我也可以。”事实上，我可以将火炬携带得比任何人都想像的更远。我希望更多的拥护者在我的话语落在他们的耳朵上后出现。
您最近写了一本关于您的经历的书，”The Ball Came Out: Life From the Other Side of the Field。” What made you decide to write it?
After embracing these lessons and building connections within the MS community, I had always felt the desire to write a book but could never get the words out.
我知道这听起来可能很疯狂，但我的意思是，我的生活中有部分我一直隐藏起来，还没有学会面对那些痛苦的时刻。
我的信仰和疗法帮助我敞开心heart，重新审视艰难时期，而不必担心判断力。当人们阅读我的书时，我希望他们能以我的方式了解我为什么接近我的疾病。
As a black man, I treasure the fact that多发性硬化症Association of America (MSAA)指出要散发出灯光，为我们的社区提供知名度，提高知名度和授予平台。这些属性为更多的倡导者提供了空间，这是迫切需要的。
MSAA指出要传达您的生活是您的信息，并且需要听到与MS生活的信息。
我很幸运能够以多种方式与MSAA建立联系，并被选中并受到信任，以举办他们的第一个虚拟改善生活的利益。
而且我很高兴能回到2022年in-person and the virtual events迫不及待地想认识到MSAA去年在一起以来所取得的伟大成就。
