Hello there!Abbey Phillipson, Para Strength & Conditioning Coach for the University of Michigan (@AbbeyPhillipson) joins me on this episode of The TyePod! Abbey and I had an insightful conversation about her journey with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). She also talks about becoming a coach and the diversity of athletes she works with! It was intriguing to get her thoughts on competition and the state of adaptive athlete equality. As with other areas of society, there are incremental improvements to inclusion of disabled athletes, but serious shortcomings. Abbey’s efforts to spread awareness to youth that sports is for them regardless of ability is so important!
