In this episode of the Adaptive Athlete Podcast, Mat Hotho sits down with Sarah Perry, a competitive CrossFit athlete and coach living with significant vision loss from childhood brain cancer.
Sarah shares what it’s like to navigate daily life and elite competition with 75% vision loss, describing both her adaptations in and out of the gym.
She talks candidly about being “in-between” in sports classification, her journey from rowing to CrossFit, and how becoming a coach has deepened her understanding of inclusive fitness.
Sarah also discusses her role as a programmer for vision athletes in the adaptive CrossFit community and offers practical advice for anyone getting started in adaptive sports.
