Challenged Athletes Foundation's video: Adaptive Athletes Take on Sled Hockey Nordic and Alpine Skiing in Boise Idaho

CAF brings adaptive athletes together in Boise, Idaho to experience a series of winter sports: sled hockey, nordic, and alpine skiing. CAF coaches, 3x Paralympian Andy Yohe, 2x Paralympian Josh Sweeney, and CAF Nordic skier Jordan Valentine brought their skills and love for winter sports to a group of athletes, some there for the first time and others their improving upon what they already know. Clinics like these offer athletes and their families a way to get moving in new ways and opportunities to connect with others in similar circumstances. "It's great that we are letting individuals try a new sport to see if it's something they want to pursue for recreation or maybe a professional sport" says Josh Sweeney. "Getting people outdoors having fun with other people, removing boundaries that make it difficult to have good experiences outdoors is huge" says Jordan Valentine. "It's easy to feel like you are limited in a lot of ways quickly, which actually is a 100% opposite of a disabled person. It's been cool to believe that more and more as I see my friends and CAF doing really cool things" says first-time CAF clinic attendee Stevie.
