Them. 01:58.390 --> 02:01.160 And my mother was at and eight. 02:01.900 --> 02:05.810 At and let it fall away and my father was not as much and I think 02:05.810 --> 02:07.980 I was more like my father then like my mother. 02:08.570 --> 02:13.470 But when it meets is for that was sports stadiums were not accessible 02:13.470 --> 02:14.400 and I was growing up. 02:14.920 --> 02:19.160 So the ability to really go and watch for its for that is good 02:19.160 --> 02:22.530 and words was really something I didn't do my brother's wearing 02:22.530 --> 02:26.130 about that and baseball teams and other things like that but 02:26.460 --> 02:29.340 I was kind of a pass of the passive observer. 02:30.140 --> 02:33.710 So I think one of the important aspects of the americans with 02:33.710 --> 02:38.290 disabilities act that that really has been changing so much in 02:38.290 --> 02:42.830 the United States um I stadiums that are accessible is a great 02:42.830 --> 02:46.310 deal of work that's being get that done to get disabled people 02:46.310 --> 02:50.110 to be able to participate the supplies and to be able to look 02:50.110 --> 02:51.680 that the entire. 02:52.360 --> 02:56.700 Industry as sports but in a much different way than we really 02:56.700 --> 03:00.530 we're able to do that in the past a week in a half ago. My husband 03:00.530 --> 03:04.530 was also has a this Billy and I one of my nieces from mexico 03:04.530 --> 03:08.660 is here and she'd never been to a baseball game and so we we're 03:08.690 --> 03:13.030 able that taker to a baseball game unknown actors were that I'm 03:13.220 --> 03:17.470 at any maybe it was really great because here I was explaining 03:17.470 --> 03:21.970 baseball power and that was that a better job but um it was great 03:22.000 --> 03:25.670 and it was a real out the Kate brats is the family to be able 03:25.670 --> 03:28.850 to be doing something together something which I didn't have 03:28.850 --> 03:30.320 the opportunity do that for. 03:30.860 --> 03:36.690 Um I first foray into international sports was in 19 72 when 03:36.690 --> 03:39.840 I way with the good people from the United States for the paralympic 03:39.840 --> 03:43.910 game that was being held in germany and that was the first time 03:43.910 --> 03:47.690 that I had ever met disabled individuals from around the world 03:48.140 --> 03:51.970 um we're coming together in heidelberg to participate in the 03:51.970 --> 03:55.680 paralympics and I was a wonderful opportunity for me because 03:55.970 --> 03:59.910 all the my family are in a grants um. I never really met lapse 03:59.910 --> 04:03.510 of disabled people from other countries and so this really was 04:03.850 --> 04:07.450 the first time that I was really able to get a much clearer understanding 04:07.840 --> 04:10.680 of some I issued that disabled people we're struggling with around 04:10.680 --> 04:11.130 the world. 04:11.660 --> 04:14.780 And for me what was very important event that was where there 04:14.780 --> 04:18.440 was a richman a latecomer a wealthier country out the issues 04:18.440 --> 04:22.740 were very similar um if we look at the issues for its clearly 04:22.740 --> 04:26.780 at that point time that paralympics and really really gated and 04:26.780 --> 04:30.970 a side to sideline the live that that that time we Munich and 04:30.970 --> 04:33.770 then it paralympic sewing high build where he could see that 04:33.770 --> 04:35.470 was really no connection at all. 04:35.980 --> 04:41.010 And doubt we really come an incredibly long way is so that people 04:41.010 --> 04:44.820 like derek I'm and I uh there's said disabilities and or playing 04:44.820 --> 04:49.140 in various other sports. I'm really it's becoming less common. 04:49.700 --> 04:53.410 That it's just a few disabled people and carole ethics and others 04:53.410 --> 04:57.150 for of activity is I really having to advance that and I said 04:57.180 --> 05:00.830 and yeah one and share a little bit more I would love to I would 05:00.830 --> 05:04.280 love to. Well unfortunate to working of the state department 05:04.310 --> 05:08.120 in our sports United division really do sports diplomacy were 05:08.460 --> 05:12.360 and I bring about 20 years of experience in the sports industry 05:12.600 --> 05:16.660 up to this job and also experience has an athlete I'm a three 05:16.660 --> 05:21.610 time Olympian and gold medalist in a wheelchair racing and um 05:21.640 --> 05:25.940 as this and it worked in industry. I'm also participate in a 05:25.940 --> 05:30.110 volunteer leadership were pretty olympic and paralympic movement 05:30.180 --> 05:34.660 relate to help a dress summary inequity is that we're experiencing 05:34.660 --> 05:38.080 when we're athletes to really make it a make a change for the 05:38.080 --> 05:41.560 positive and using legislation like the americans with disabilities 05:41.560 --> 05:45.650 that to advocate for riots and more access particularly for young 05:45.650 --> 05:49.150 people with disabilities because they weren't getting the opportunity 05:49.150 --> 05:53.070 in school or after school to learn about and participate in sports 05:53.070 --> 05:57.420 and just be physically active I'm at a very basic level. So we've 05:57.420 --> 06:02.120 seen that change dramatically in last 25 years as well as opportunities 06:02.470 --> 06:07.400 and is voice United we work with athletes like derrick and olympic 06:07.400 --> 06:11.000 and and professional and paralympic athletes setting them overseas 06:11.000 --> 06:14.460 tour and the season posts to do programming with you. 06:15.020 --> 06:18.430 To get them. I'm engaged with the embassy and learning about 06:18.460 --> 06:23.120 attack can sports and values I'm particularly the rights that 06:23.120 --> 06:27.630 we uh have here as persons with disabilities. But we do sports 06:27.660 --> 06:31.050 all over the world. We also brings force visitors here to the 06:31.050 --> 06:35.770 us again you and coaches in a variety of sports and they visit 06:35.770 --> 06:39.420 different cities throughout the country.
