Have The Nerve Not-So-Short this episode!
You will hear the stories of three people who explain what sport means to them, because when it comes to disability and sport society may focus on physical strength or the medals, but it's so much more than that.

Tamsin Colley is an international athlete in para-athletics and cerebral palsy football studying Exercise Physiology at University of New South Wales (UNSW)
Gerry Hewson is a six-time Paralympian in wheelchair basketball. He currently coaches wheelchair basketball in New South Wales
Daria Alforova is a Para (Wheelchair) Dance Sport Coach from Ukraine who coached Ukrainian national team to multiple world championships, and currently runs Para Dance Sport Sydney.
