ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Darlene Hunter is a 3x Paralympian and Gold Medalist for the US Women’s Wheelchair Basketball Team. At 4 years old, she would suffer a spinal cord injury as a part of a tragic accident but would discover adaptive sports just a few short years later through para track & field. At the University of Arizona, she switched to the sport of wheelchair basketball. In addition to being a player, she has also mentored and coached other athletes by heading the Lady Mavericks Wheelchair Basketball Team in Dallas and hosting an annual women's wheelchair development camp out of the University of Texas-Arlington. The impact she has had on the court is huge, but the impact she is making off the court is even bigger.
