On today’s episode, I’m chatting to the first ever legally blind D1 athlete. Born with no sight in his right eye and extremely limited vision in his left, this week’s guest has never let his disability get in the way of his ambitions. Discovering the game of football in seventh grade, it wasn’t until he was placed in the position of long snapper that he realised his full potential and became one of the stars of his high school team. Applying to college later on, he was offered a place at Tulane University where he made history as the first ever legally blind person to play college football. Not only did he pave the way for others with disabilities in his sport, he was exceptionally talented at his position and landed himself a stint as an NFL free agent. Leaving football behind after college to work as a motivational speaker and coach, he now spends time sharing his story in the hopes of inspiring others. Offering up his words of wisdom, here’s what it’s like to be Aaron Golub.
