Adapt. Compete. Achieve. Blind Athletes in Sports

Join us for an engaging panel led by Blind Athletes Inc. highlighting the experiences, accomplishments, and opportunities available to athletes who are blind or have low vision. The discussion will feature blind athletes who participate in a variety of sports, including track and field, soccer, beep baseball, and swimming, and will explore how athletes adapt, train, compete, and overcome barriers to participation in sports and recreation. Panelists will share their personal experiences while discussing accessibility, inclusion, independence, teamwork, and the importance of expanding athletic opportunities for people who are blind or visually impaired.
