Beautiful Lives Project Visits EIU Basketball Practice
The sound of sneakers on hardwood and bouncing basketballs holds special meaning for Bryce Weiler, co-founder of the Beautiful Lives Project, who was born blind.
Weiler's mission is to show that disabilities do not limit dreams, but rather redefine them. His goal is to promote inclusion in sports, creating a space where everyone feels they belong.
“Everyone can be inclusive towards people with disabilities,” Weiler said. “Individuals with disabilities want to experience sports just as much as anyone else without a disability.
- Inclusion in sports can help college athletic departments and professional teams gain more fans.
- It also demonstrates that everyone is important, regardless of their disabilities or challenges.
Weiler aims to inspire others to see the value of inclusion in sports, making it a welcoming space for all.
