Episode 84. Inclusion and Embracing Life's Obstacles with Paralympian Scout Bassett

Paralympic track and field athlete, Scout Bassett, joins us on the VIS Podcast to talk about her childhood as an adoptee from China, overcoming adversity and disability, and important life lessons that go beyond the realm of sports. Scout has tremendous strength and grace with dealing with challenges, and shares the beauty of sport in bringing different people together, as well as the importance of community, asking for help, and never giving up no matter what life throws at you. “Everything that I have struggled with in my life, it's going to mean something. I think that what running really gave me was just that feeling of okay, not only do I belong, but I matter.”- Scout Bassett
