Beyond Podcast

We are honored to have had Ryan Cadres assistant football coach currently at Scituate High School and has Cerebral Palsy. Ryan talks here about how everyone is different, but it is what you do that defines who you are, not what you have been dealt. "I want my kids and people to realize everyone's different. People with disabilities want to be included. And that's how it started, I wasn't able to play a game but I found a way to stay involved and be included." Ryan is a true motivation to us all and it was a real honor to have him on this show to speak his story and spread awareness for Cerebral Palsy.

On top of it all, I had the privilege of coaching Jamey as a high school football player and I am not surprised at all the success Jamey has had in life. Tremendous listen!
