About Nick Morrison

Nick Morrison is a motivational speaker and stand-up comedian known for his powerful story of resilience and faith. Raised on a family ranch in Wyoming and the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, Nick began riding bulls at nine and went on to compete professionally on the PBR Tour. After a series of serious injuries ended his career at twenty-one, Nick faced his greatest challenge when a traumatic brain injury left him unable to speak.

Through determination, faith, and relentless effort, Nick learned to speak again and discovered a new purpose. Today, he travels across the country sharing his story with audiences of all kinds, using humor and authenticity to remind people that no matter how hard life hits, you can always get back up.

Knocked Out But Not Down

One Bull Rider’s Story of Faith and Resilience in the Aftermath of Multiple Concussions

In a world that celebrates strength but rarely talks about recovery, Knocked Out But Not Down is a deeply human story about what happens after the fall. Through moments of pain, humor, and hope, Nick Morrison takes readers behind the scenes of a life built on grit—from the adrenaline of professional bull riding to the silence of losing his ability to speak after a traumatic brain injury. His journey reveals that real strength isn’t found in never falling, but in learning how to rise with purpose.

More than a memoir and more than a story of survival, this book is a testament to faith, perseverance, and the power of the human spirit. Whether you’ve faced physical challenges, emotional battles, or moments of doubt, Knocked Out But Not Down reminds you that every setback can become a setup for something greater. It’s not just about getting back up—it’s about discovering who you are when you do.
