When Zion Walker was in fifth grade, he started attending the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind in Staunton, Virginia. Around the age of 12, his older brother Sean was playing the sport of goalball and he wanted to follow in his footsteps. He also played basketball, ran cross country, and competed in track. As a blind athlete, goalball became his primary sport. He would move from his home in Winchester, VA to Washington DC and played there for a couple of years, before moving to Fort Wayne, Indiana to join the men’s national goalball team headquartered at Turnstone, a Move United member organization. He is now in Paris preparing for his first Paralympic Games.
