Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is iHeartRadio's West Michigan Weekend. West Michigan Weekend is
a weekly programmed designed to inform and enlighten on a
wide range of public policy issues, as well as news
and current events. Now here's your host, Phil Tower.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It is West Michigan Weekend from iHeartRadio. Thank you so
much for tuning in exciting times here in West Michigan. Well,
I mean, come on, you're saying, Phil, We already know
that it's summer, It's West Michigan. It's been beautiful so far.
But I am really excited that Grand Rapids will become
host for the Hartford Nationals, hosted by Move United. This
(00:37):
is the largest and longest running national sport championship event
for athletes with a physical disability, visual impairment, and or
intellectual disability. And no better person to update us on
the Hartford Nationals and how exciting this is for Grand
Rapids and how you can take part, how you can
volunteer and this may change your life. Glenn Mary is
(01:00):
CEO of Move United and he is in Grand Rapids
as we preview the games coming up July eleventh through seventeenth,
and plenty of time for you to catch them as
we have this conversation on the radio. Glenn, Mary, thank
you for joining us.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Still pleasure to be here and really excited we're up
here in Western Michigan and Grand Rapids having a great
time so far getting set up for the games this week.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, and it is very exciting for those who are
listening to us have this conversation on the radio, Glenn Mary,
tell us about and they don't know about the heart
for Nationals and Move United. First of all, let's unpack
Move United, what you guys are all about and how
you work and.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Movie United is a national organization that focuses on bringing
adaptive sports to people with physical disabilities. And when I
say adaptive sports, it's the same sports that you see
day to day at high schools and colleges around the country,
but there's been an adaptation to either equipment, the rules,
or the field of play that make it more accessible
(02:05):
for people at physical disabilities. And we do this through
a network of two hundred and forty five community based
organizations around the country, and we do it across seventy
different sports. Some of them are competitive, like our NFL
Wheelchair Football League. Some of them are more recreational, in
nature like paddling, canoe, kayak down rivers, or hiking out
(02:28):
in the rocky mountains and kind of everything in between.
But this week we're focused on competition and the competition
if you think about the Paralympics, which takes place every
two years winter in summer, a lot of the same
sports that you see at the Paralympics are taking part
this week in Grand Rapids and this is where youth
(02:49):
and adults that are just entering into the adaptive sports
world are getting their experience to test their speed, their strength,
their metal against others that have similar disabilities and similar
interests in the sport.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And best of all, people hearing us can watch these games.
They got underway Friday night and they will continue until
the seventeenth of July. Here in Grand Rapid several different
venues including calvin University Gaining Athletic Facility, Calvin's Venoma Aquatic Center,
Mary free Bed's YMCA, Millennium Park, MSA Woodland, and the
(03:27):
MVP Athletic Club. So you were saying these are competitions,
but for a lot of people, they're participating as a
paraathlete to maybe move on to another goal, maybe even
the Paralympics fair enough to say it really is.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You know, in Paris in twenty twenty four, about sixty
five percent of Team USA had participated in either this
competition or some of the other thirty sanctioned competitions that
we have throughout the country, or they participated in Movie
United programming at one of those the based partners. So really,
when you think about it, we're kind of the ground
(04:06):
swell of activity. And just like Olympic and Paralympic sport,
you know, one tenth of one percent of those athletes
move on to the to the top podium, representing the
US internationally.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, and we do want to as we talk about
the Hartford Games, we do want to mention that the
Hartford that's the insurance company, the financial company and an
insurance company. They sponsor these games. How long have these
games been happening, Glenn Mary.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Well, that's a really amazing piece of this. We're celebrating
our sixty eighth year of these national championships, and you know,
the sports change from year to years sometimes, but and
and kind of the size of this has We're celebrating
our largest competition this year with about four hundred and
twenty five athletes from about thirty five states around the country.
(04:59):
So this is a our biggest attendance, and you know,
we're doing it across eight different sports. We have archery
and batcha pair of powerlifting, para trathlm, shooting, swimming, track
and field, and then we'll have wheelchair and para tennis
as well. And in addition to that, because we're in
a new community, we offer clinics for athletes to try
(05:21):
other sports, and so many of our athletes are dual
or try sport athletes while they're here. So you know
you were talking about the week long competition. We'll start
things off with track and field up at Calvin University
this weekend, and there's a huge number of athletes who
do tracking field that will then go do para trathlon
(05:41):
or maybe three days later be it at the pool
of doing a short and long course swimming.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Tell us a little bit about how this came to
be in Grand Rapids, Glenn. I know you must have
had conversations with my friend Mike gus Weiler and his
team at the West Michigan Sports Commission. What made you
choose Grand Rapids as a host city.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
It's funny, I know, Grand Rapids fairly well I spent
before I came on board to Move United. I was
twenty years with Olympic and Paralympic roaming and we hosted
a master's competition here. Gosh, it must have been more
than a decade ago. So I got to know like
in the team at the West Michigan Sports Commission pretty
well and it stuck in my mind when I came
(06:22):
to Move United. It's a great community. It's a sports
forward community. The climate up here is great in July
compared with some parts of the country there are excessive
heat and that we're trying to provide an environment where
we have a local community partner with Mary Freebet Wheelchair
Adaptive Sports, and the leadership over there was really keen
(06:45):
on putting a bid in, but it's just like all
sports events, and I know, you just enter your state
games here last month and there's a pickleball tournament going on.
Your sports commission in this area is very active and
they do a good job about following up on. But
it was a competitive process and Grand Rapids went out
among a handful of big cities that we're looking to
(07:07):
host for this two year period.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
We're speaking with Glenn Mary. He is CEO of Move United.
The Hertford Nationals here in town as we are having
this conversation on the radio, and they will be here
through July seventeenth. You can learn more at Hartford Nationals
dot org. Hertford Nationals dot org. You can watch these games.
And Glenn also told me before we started our conversation
(07:31):
this morning that they need help. They need volunteers. If
you'd like to get involved, this is an exciting event
that's happening, and there are so many moving pieces. If
someone wants to volunteers to the volunteer Glenn, Do they
get that at the Hertford Nationals dot org on your website.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Absolutely, it's the top as soon as you open the page.
It's a big button kind of on the left side
that says quick, here to volunteer, and don't be daunted
because there are so many events. We have a full
schedule of opportunities and some of them are relatively short.
Some of them are indoors, some of them are outdoors.
Some of them can put you right on the field
(08:07):
of play. So as example, this weekend, we have a
big field event coming up that requires fifty five volunteers
out there, and I think it below to subscribe. So far,
we have a handful of people and we could really
use a couple dozen more. So if you have an
hour or two to come out and help, we'd love
to see the community engaged to kind of see what
(08:28):
goes on in adaptive sports. You know, we recognize disability
often exists kind of in the shadows, and we don't
see it first and foremost in our communities. This is different.
This entire competition is revolves around athletes with disabilities, and
it's a wide array. We have some folks that are
(08:48):
wheelchair users. We have others perhaps that are working through
cerebral palsy, we have some athletes who are blind. And
each sort of competition will present very different ways of
you imagining what's possible. And that's really what movie United
it's about, is pushing what's possible, not just for the athletes,
(09:10):
but for the community so that they have a different
lens to view disability through.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, and you know what's really powerful about this, I
especially hope for parents and or grandparents or relatives, anybody
with a person in their family living with a disability,
any type of disability you just mentioned. I cannot think
of a better, more impactful way to inspire that young
person living with a disability in twenty twenty five than
(09:38):
taking them to some of these competitions here in Grand
Rapids at the Hartford Nationals. It's a great way to
inspire that. I'm sure the athletes wouldn't mind talking to
some of these youngsters and just another positive payback for
these games and a heart for Nationals here in Grand Rapids.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, that's the key, and we'll be recognized as oftentimes
people are uncomfortable with disability. It may not be in
their day to day or in their vocabulary. The main
thing is keep a person first. It's an individual. You
speak directly to our athletes, a lot of them are
happy to share their stories. And if you do have
a family member or a friend with a disabilities not
(10:17):
yet engaged and active in sport, there's great opportunities here.
You don't have to be a competitor. Adaptive sport changes
lives through many ways, and one of the key things
is it reduces long term health risks like heart disease
and diabetes. And what we know through our research and
academic research is that people have disabilities to participate in
(10:40):
the adaptive sport are twice as likely to have positive
view of life and a real sense of being part
of a community, a real sense of socialization, the opposite
of isolation that so many people with disabilities have. And
so while sport is critical for mental and physical well being,
(11:03):
there's also this other aspect of how it changes the
sense of community and changes opportunity for those with disability.
It really changes the direction and tone of what's possible.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Glenn Mary is with us. He is the CEO of
move United. We are talking about the Hartford Nationals which
are underway here in West Michigan. In fact, they got
underway on Friday, and a lot of things happening today Sunday,
Monday the fourteenth, and through Thursday the seventeenth. By the way,
(11:37):
do you have kind of a closing ceremony or anything
like that people can check out?
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Yeah, it's interesting, you know, we have our opening ceremony
was Friday, and as it goes through the week, we
have this great opportunity on Monday where the Hartford who's
been a more than three decades sponsor and partner of
Movie United. In each community that the national is held in,
they do ward of equipment and grants to individual athletes,
(12:06):
and so we'll be taking that off in the afternoon
on Monday. Not exactly a closing ceremony, but it's a
place where our athletes gather and there'll be some paralympians
there as well, So I think it's going to be
a pretty great day to be out there. And that's
coming up Monday afternoon at twelve o'clock at the Gainey
Athletic Complex.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
All right, I know, Glenn, you mentioned real quickly. I've
only got about a minute and a half left. You
mentioned Bacia. There's a Batchia clinic on Monday afternoon at
two as well. Yeah, give us thirty seconds. What Bacia is?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
You know Batcha If you think about the game with
the balls that you know, maybe you see people sipping
in espresso and tossing balls out trying to get close
to the target. It's that game. But the Batcha that
you're going to see a lot of these athletes are
in power chairs or they're playing from a wheelchair, and
so the limitation of movement that they may have is
(13:07):
different in how they play the game. Sometimes they're holding
the ball or the device under their chin and it's
going down to ramp, so they're visually targeting where it's
going to go and that ramp, the pitch of that
ramp is going to have a go a certain distance.
So different strategy for folks that perhaps have the largest
(13:28):
limitation on their mobility. And that's really the aspect of
these adaptations is you can have someone who has relatively
little movement in their arms or their legs, still participate
in sports, still engage socially, still engage in strategy, and
there's others that the limitation that they have physically is
(13:51):
much less and they have a different adaptation to sport.
Maybe they using a frame to run with, or perhaps
they're rolling along on a raising chair.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
It's really exciting and you can check that out on
Monday as well. Everything you need to know about the
Hertford Nationals at the Hertford Nationals dot org. Glenn Mary
is CEO of Move United, the largest and longest running
national sport championship event for athletes with disabilities. Glenn, I
have appreciated the opportunity to catch up with you and
continue good luck with the games through Thursday. It's been
(14:24):
great speaking.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
