About this listen

Paralympian Stacey Rice shares her remarkable transition from competing in the 1988 Paralympic Games for volleyball to finding a new passion in adaptive golf. After losing her leg to bone cancer at 16, Stacey’s athletic dreams seemed over—until a supportive community of amputee athletes changed her path. In this episode, Stacey talks about rediscovering competition, representation in adaptive sports, and what keeps her swinging for new goals on and off the course.

Key Topics:

  • Overcoming fear and rediscovering athletic identity after amputation
  • Transitioning from Paralympic volleyball to adaptive golf
  • The power of peer encouragement in recovery and sport
  • What drives her to compete in tournaments today
