In this eye-opening episode of the Coach 'Em Up Podcast, Tim Riley sits down with Abbey Phillipson, the strength and conditioning coach for the University of Michigan's adaptive sports program. Abby shares her personal journey living with a physical disability and her mission to revolutionize adaptive sports accessibility.

Abbey breaks down misconceptions about disability and offers candid insights into the challenges faced by para-athletes. Learn about the five Paralympic sports she coaches and what makes adaptive sports not just important, but essential for an inclusive society. She strives to break down the barrier between para-athletes and able-bodied athletes, saying there shouldn't really be a distinction. They are all just athletes.

Whether you're a coach, athlete, or just someone who cares about inclusivity in sports, this conversation will change how you think about adaptive athletics and disability representation.
