A 17-year-old’s dream of becoming a college athlete was shattered in a second after she was hit in the head by a high-speed volleyball spiked by a transgender player.
The impact rattled her brain, causing an instant knockout made even worse by hitting the floor. Payton McNabb, from Murphy, North Carolina, was unconscious for 30 seconds and woke up to her future as a player in pieces.
Two years later, McNabb is sharing her story in the documentary Kill Shot: How Payton McNabb Turned Tragedy Into Triumph, in hopes of preventing similar incidents from happening to others.
