In this episode of Shedding Light, hosts Jalyn Barrett and Emilie McCarthy dive into the world of adaptive sports, highlighting the people and programs working to make athletics more inclusive for everyone. The episode kicks off at Philly Achilles, a local running group that brings together disabled athletes and volunteer guides to train, race, and build community. Founder Melissa Wilcox shares what inspired her to start the Philly chapter, and several members open up about how movement has changed their lives, physically, mentally, and socially. The crew also sits down with Ann Dolloff, a professor and longtime coach in the world of adaptive athletics. She offers insight into how coaching techniques shift to meet the needs of disabled athletes, and why representation and accessibility in sports are long overdue. Rounding out the episode is a conversation with Paralympian Renee Kirby, a former Temple faculty member whose athletic journey took her all the way to the global stage.
