Redefining Disability

Let’s be real—people are unfamiliar with people with disabilities. At Move United, we believe sports have the power to change the world, pushing people further and bringing people closer. Through adaptive sports, we show what people with disabilities are capable of, fuel candid conversations, and incite the action it takes to build a world where everyone’s included. Redefining Disability is a podcast that focuses on the power of sport. Move United is looking forward to sharing how sports have made it possible for our nation’s top adaptive athletes, training tips from the best coaches and program leaders, and news on latest technology, equipment, and trends in the adaptive sports industry.

    Reinventing the Wheel

    After a life-changing car accident as a teenager, Judge Patricia Broderick had two choices: remain in the safe haven of her parents or reinvent herself and find a new path through life as a woman in a wheelchair. She chose the latter. Graduating from law school, her career spans from being a volunteer social worker in Ecuador to a senior judge in the District of Columbia. Judge Broderick also advocates for diversity and women's advancement in the legal profession. Her memoir, Reinventing the Wheel, is a testimony to overcoming pain, fear, and prejudice and tempered by a resolve to carry on traveling and having fun in her own way, including alpine skiing.
