Eliana was diagnosed with glaucoma and cataracts at birth, growing up blind. However, she didn’t let her disability inhibit her from achieving her goals, as she is an athlete and plays on the Paralympic National Women’s Goalball Team representing Team USA. Eliana earned a Bronze Medal at the Rio Paralympic Games in 2016, and is now training for the upcoming Tokyo games. She is also in graduate school studying to become a clinical mental health counselor. In this episode, Eliana and I talked about taking care of your mental health as a competitive athlete, how to empower disabled individuals, and the importance of building inclusivity for disabled individuals in sports.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stella-stephanopoulos/support
