Description
Since wheelchair rugby’s debut in the 1996 Paralympics, Team USA has only had male players — until now. At this summer’s competition in Paris, the American team’s roster will include its very first female player: St. Louis University Assistant Professor Sarah Adam. Adam shares how she’s training for intense competition at the Paralympics this summer and what it means to represent her country, and women, as an elite athlete.
