Sports have the power to unite, inspire, and transform lives, but for many high school students with learning disabilities, access to inclusive athletic programs are limited. I aim to change that by developing a practical sports initiative in Statesboro that fosters confidence, teamwork, and physical well-being. By designing adaptive, engaging activities that are tailored to different abilities, this initiative will create an environment where every student can participate, compete, and thrive. Beyond just athletics, it will serve as a platform for social connection, mentorship, and empowerment. How can we ensure that sports are truly inclusive? How can we break barriers and build a program that meets the needs of this student population? Through innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to accessibility, this initiative has the potential to make a lasting impact, proving that everyone, regardless of ability, deserves a platform to play, grow, and succeed.
