Competition Beyond the Field
by Leo
When we think of disability inclusion, what first comes to mind is wheelchair ramps, braille and elevators: but not athletics. This podcast features interviewees with a strong connection to both the sports and disability world. Each speaker offers unique insight into their experience as a disabled athlete, organizer or advocate. We delve into topics including the effects of access to athletics on the mental health of those with disabilities, what competition looks like as a disabled athlete and much more.
