On today’s episode, I’m talking to coach and Paralympian Stephanie Wheeler about going where you’re valued.
Stephanie is the head coach of the women’s wheelchair basketball team at the University of Illinois. An alum of the program herself, winning three national championships, as well as being a two-time Paralympic gold medalist, Stephanie is no stranger to success. Despite her success, she has still faced discrimination and is one of the few women head coaches, and one of the very few head coaches with a disability, in a sports world that continues to be dominated by men. After leading Team USA to a gold medal at the Rio Paralympics as the head coach, Stephanie decided to focus all her energy on coaching her team at Illinois, where she could live out her values in an environment that supported her as a whole human being.

The Paralympics are underway, giving us a new slate of athletic heroes to cheer on. But ParaSports sports receive limited coverage between international tournaments, and that makes them a bit harder to follow. To help fill in those gaps, Christine and JJ break down the visuals of some popular Paralympic sports, including wheelchair rugby, wheelchair basketball, running events, and goalball. They talk gear, skills, body types, and debate the merits of diving across a gymnasium floor to block bell-filled-balls with your face!
Join a Paralympian and a Professor at North Carolina Central University Dr. Andrea Woodson-Smith and host Dr. Rebecca Corbin as they discuss the 2020 Paralympic Games kicking off this week in Tokyo as well as Andrea's personal story of perseverance as she makes her way forward as both an athlete and an educator.
As you watch the Paralympics compete in Tokyo, take a close look at their logo: three Agitos encircling a central point symbolizing motion, bringing athletes together from all corners of the world to compete. The symbol also reflects the Paralympic motto, “Spirit in Motion,” representing the strong will of every Paralympian: always moving forward and never giving up.
