In this episode, we sit down with Abbey Phillipson, Head Strength and Conditioning coach for Paralympic athletes at the University of Michigan.
Abbey shares her journey as an adaptive athlete living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and how strength training transformed her mobility and quality of life.
From being a wheelchair user in high school to competing in bodybuilding and now coaching elite adaptive athletes, Abbey offers powerful insights on resilience, training adaptations, and what it means to claim space as an athlete with a disability.
