Description

Meet US Navy Veteran Calvin E. Poole. Calvin's  journey began nine years ago when his eye doctor informed him that his sight was failing. And soon he was declared legally blind. Needless to say, he became demotivated and lacked the will to live the life that he was accustomed to living. The glaucoma spread rapidly to both eyes causing him to develop a sedentary lifestyle. He spent the first couple of years doing almost nothing and his health started to fail. At that point, he decided to get back to living. Calvin was always an avid sportsman, playing various games, so the search began. His vocational rehabilitation specialist introduced him to an adaptive sports group, The Tennessee Association of Blind Athletes. They became the catalyst for his life.
