Redefining Disability: Move United’s Adaptive Sports Podcast

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. 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 podcast that focuses on the power of sport. Through this podcast, we look 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.

This Week’s Podcast Guest

Marine Corps Veteran Gabby Wake

Marine Corps Veteran Gabby Wake was injured when a vehicle struck her motorcycle at a red light, resulting in a traumatic brain injury and damage to her back. Through the Wounded Warrior Battalion, she explored adaptive sports and went on to medal at the DOD Warrior Games and Invictus Games in track and field and cycling. Today, sled hockey is her passion, and she serves as the goalie for the U.S. Women’s National Team.

In podcast episodes, we’ll dive 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, over 245 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.

The “Redefining Disability” 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.
