Let’s be real—people are unfamiliar with people with disabilities. At Move United, we believe sports have the power to change the world, pushing people further and bringing people closer. Sports make us more. They make us victorious and vulnerable and better than we were yesterday. And they turn strangers into teammates, putting us all on a level playing field. Through adaptive sports, we show what people with disabilities are capable of. We fuel candid conversations and incite the action it takes to build a world where everyone’s included.
As a result, Move United launched “Redefining Disability,” an award-winning weekly podcast that focuses on the power of sport. Redefining Disability is a great resource for listeners interested and involved in the adaptive sports field. Move United is looking forward to sharing how sports have made it possible for our nation’s top adaptive athletes, training tips from the best coaches and program leaders, and news on latest technology, equipment, and trends in the industry through this platform.
The podcast is an extension of Move United magazine, the nation’s leading adaptive sports publication. So if there is a particular article you liked or an athlete you’d like to hear more from that is featured in the magazine, be sure to check out the podcast as many of the full interviews are released. In episodes of Redefining Disability, you will delve into the lives of athletes with physical disabilities to hear how they have been able to adapt and achieve, get the 411 on how to begin in or excel at a particular adaptive sport, learn the best techniques in training from coaches and program experts, find out what’s on the cutting edge in terms of technology, equipment, or trends, or catch up on upcoming adaptive sports events and programs.
Since its creation in February 2021, nearly 200 guests have been featured on the podcast, from emerging athletes and Paralympians to coaches and top innovators in the adaptive sports space. In 2022, “Redefining Disability” received a Silver w3 Award in the General Podcast Series: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion category from The Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts.
