In this podcast we’re joined by dual para-athlete Hannah Dodd, beginning her elite para career at age 12 and eventually competing in two sports, Equestrian and Wheelchair Basketball.
In a two decade career at the elite level Hannah realised her childhood dream in Equestrian and then went on to compete for the Gliders in Wheelchair basketball. She opens up on the inevitable struggles and experiences that has forged her steely determination as well as the richness in travelling for her sport.
As part of the historic silver medal winning Wombats squad in the first ever 3x3 Wheelchair event at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, Hannah tells us about the truly rewarding experience travelling alongside the able-bodied Gangurrus (winning Bronze) “one of the awesome things about the Comm Games is that the para and the able-bodied runs concurrently.”
Listen in for the profound sentiment Hannah shares on resilience, a skill she's finely tuned as a para-athlete that has experienced and adapted to multiple re-classifications as well as the disappointment of missing a shot at the Paris Paralympics.
It’s been a full and enriching career as a para-athlete with retirement earmarked in coming years, but not before Hannah embarks on some amazing opportunities in Europe and with the Gliders.
Enjoy!
