TrailBLAZER: Elissa Sagoskin on Triumph, Not Defeat

For Elissa Sagoskin, sports have always been more than a pastime; they're a part of who she is. Now, she's channeling that passion into coaching and representing Jewish female athletes on the world stage, with her sights set on the 2028 Olympics. Elissa is also a mother to her son, Amichai, who has cerebral pals, and through him, she's learned to flip the script on how we see bodies, movement, and minds. She challenges us to celebrate different ways of being in the world, reminding us that she doesn't see disability… she sees ability. Sound Bites "I didn't see disability, I saw ability." "You can move in a different way."   Follow Elissa Sagoskin: https://www.instagram.com/elissa_sagoskin/ Israel Flag Football: https://www.instagram.com/israelflagfootball/ Elissa's blog: https://www.changeperceptions.net/ Elissa's TEDx talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/elissa_sagoskin_sagoskin_the_making_of_a_superhero
