In this week’s episode of Sports Will Save Us All, Sasha chats with the remarkable Jess Markt, an internationally acclaimed wheelchair basketball coach and Disability Sport & Inclusion Adviser for the International Committee of the Red Cross. Jess has brought wheelchair basketball programs to over 20 countries, including South Sudan, Afghanistan, and Syria, helping to break down barriers and bring the healing power of sport to communities in need. From his Oregon roots to his life-changing work abroad, Jess shares what he has seen and learned, along with the profound impact sports have on inclusion, empowerment, and resilience.
You can find the International Committee of the Red Cross online at www.ICRC.org and on Instagram @icrc.
Special thanks to Leah Marshall for recommending Jess for the show.
