In today’s episode, we’re going back in time to do a flashback to the Breakroom Breakdown!
Meet Clayton Frech - Co-founder of Angel City Sports, a non-profit organization for kids, adults, and veterans with physical disabilities and visual impairments. As a valuable member of the Paralympics community, Clayton joins us to share why he entered the world of sport and disability and how every athlete in a Paralympic community has a powerful story to tell.
Inspired by his amputee son, Ezra, Clayton highlights that the acquired disability of an athlete is not a hindrance to conquering and excelling in sports! Learn through the standpoint of Clayton as an athlete, coach, & father, and discover more about Paralympics by breaking down its difference with the Olympics, its need for more appreciation with media, and how an athlete with a disability could share their potential & life stories rather than the things they can’t do!

QUOTABLES:
“The unique thing about the paralympic movement is [that] athletes are organized by disability type. In Paralympic sport, you don't do age, because everyone's competing as an adult, but definitely gender. And then, disability is the other way that you're creating fairness.” – Clayton Frech
