Mat is joined by Elicia Meairs, an adaptive athlete with cerebral palsy affecting her lower limbs. Elicia competes in Paralympic Track and Field. She is in category T34 and races in the 100m and 800m.
Mat and Elicia discuss her journey into parasports and the many wonderful organizations that help adaptive athletes find community and support. And of course we touch on CrossFit and how that helps Elicia with her mobility and strength.
Elicia mentions three organizations that support adaptive athletes. Two of the organizations are in Texas and Move United is global. You can find out more about these organizations below:
