Take A Seat

07: Competing at the Highest Level with Jenn Oakes


Listen Later

On our episode today, we invited Jennifer Oakes to take a seat with us to discuss her journey with sitting volleyball as she was an indoor volleyball athlete prior. Jenn is a two-time Paralympian and is looking to make it 3 at this summer's Paris Paralympics. 

Jenn is a sister, daughter, fiance and all around amazing teammate; she makes those around her better by bringing her no-nonsense, cool-calm-collected yet competitive attitude to the court. 

Listen in to get some insight into her accident that ended in having her right leg amputated and how she navigated living with a disability and joined sitting volleyball. 

Thanks for joining us, today’s episode is a good one!
