EP. 35: Athletes with Disabilities & the Paralympics w/Keri Serota, MS

The Endurance Experience Podcast

Keri Serota has a master’s degree in kinesiology, and she is a US triathlon certified coach and a member of the USAT board of directors. She’s also the co-founder of Dare2Tri. Dare2tri is a nonprofit organization with the mission to enhance the lives of individuals with physical disabilities and visual impairments by building confidence, community, health and wellness through swimming, biking, and running.
Dare2Tri has encouraged recreation, racing, and competition in this trifecta of sports, while also cultivating a sense of community for all athletes, who are not labeled by physical ability, but rather their determination and will to succeed.
Dare2Tri empowers athletes of all ability levels from beginner to elite to be physically active, engaged with their community, and set and reach goals. We transform lives by boosting individuals’ self-esteem, confidence, and self-worth.
We have a conversation about Keri’s journey from athlete to being an expert on the training and coaching of athletes with disabilities and being co-founder of Dare2Tri.
We talk about some of the aspects of training and coaching athletes with disabilities and some of the things athletes and coaches have to consider.
We have a conversation about the classifications that exist in the arena of athletes with disabilities and Paralympics and the complicated math of trying to ensure fairness and equity.
We talk about the Paralympics and some of the big stories out of Tokyo.
Finally we talk about steps people, athletes and coaches can take to get involved and inspiring more resources for athletes with disabilities.
