Down to the Struts Recast: Let's play goalball! (Season 1)
Over the next few weeks, we'll be bringing back some early episodes of Down to the Struts to get ready for season 9.
This episode, originally broadcast in November 2020, dives into the world of adaptive sports, and specifically looks at Goalball, a sport designed for blind and visually impaired people.
Qudsiya is an athlete herself, and in this episode interviews Karla Gilbride and Justin Chan, the co-founders of the Metro Washington Association of Blind Athletes.
Their conversation explores the importance of design in making athletics accessible, the power of sports to transform lives, and beating stereotypes on and off the court.
