The Sportable Podcast Josh Sloan

Michael is a testament to the impact of adaptive sports. This episode dives deep into why adaptive athletes do what we do, how we do it, the incredible support we have to make it happen, and why we love it so much. Although not a Sportable guy, Michael is a speaker, writer, competitive cyclist and skier, and as you'll hear on this episode, gets after it no matter what it is.

Produced, hosted, edited, formed from the ether by Josh Sloan.

Special Episode Alert. We're breaking form and interviewing a leader in the field of rehabilitation instead of our typical format in which we interview adaptive athletes. Matt Wilks is the Chief Rehabilitation Officer at The Sheltering Arms Institute A collaboration with VCU Health. The Institute is a brand new state of the science rehabilitation center that serves many of the same populations as Sportable. Matt takes Josh through his career as a therapist, the creation of SAI from an idea to a fully open center for rehabilitation, and the importance of community engagement with Sportable and other organizations in the rehab process. 

Produced, edited, and hosted by Josh Sloan, who did his best, please don't be mad.

Josh hears from Sportable athlete, author, and multiple sclerosis advocate Danica King! She's relatively new to Sportable, but in a short amount of time has found her way to a variety of our sports. Danica is a bright, bubbly person who brings a joyful atmosphere wherever she goes, and is one reason she is so good at getting her many friends in the MS community involved with Sportable and other groups in the area. Really enjoyed recording this one, hope y'all enjoy listening!

We're back yet again with another long time Sportable athlete, Howard Humphreys. Howard and host Josh are Sportable rowing teammates, a program Howard has been a part of since its very first practice.  They talk about rowing on and off the water, as well as Howard's initial start with Sportable. They also discuss Howard's multiple half marathons, and the many ways Howard has watched Sportable grow over the years.
