Redefining Disability

About Redefining Disability

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. Through adaptive sports, we show what people with disabilities are capable of, fuel candid conversations, and incite the action it takes to build a world where everyone’s included. Redefining Disability is a podcast that focuses on the power of sport. 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 adaptive sports industry.
