In this episode, we explore the topic of inclusive play through conversations with athletes from within the disability sports space to learn about what it was like for them growing with limited access to traditional sports programs and accessible playgrounds, and the ways that they managed to overcome those odds and succeed in inspiring ways despite it all. We will be speaking to Joe Hamilton, a visually-imparied Paralympian silver medalist goalball athlete, Mark Lucas, the Executive Director of the United States Association of Blind Athletes, and with Charlotte, a 17 year old guide for a visually impaired cross-country skier who together won a para-Nordic silver medal at the 2019 Canada Winter Games.

Listen to the stories and experiences of Joe, Mark, and Charlotte to find out how the struggles and limitations of growing up with a lack of inclusive play spaces were overcome and how they managed to compete and thrive as disability sport athletes through their hard work and dedication.
