ABOUT BAILEY MOODY
Bailey Moody, a native of Johns Creek, Georgia, is a women’s wheelchair basketball athlete at the University of Alabama and a Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games bronze medalist with Team USA.
Moody, a member of Team USA since 2018, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at 10 years old and faced an incredibly difficult decision. Not only did her bone cancer necessitate eight months of chemotherapy, but Moody and her parents saved her chance at an active life with a rotationplasty, a rare form of amputation.
Despite the difficult recovery and doctors telling her that her athletic career was over, Moody’s determination never wavered – she was going to play basketball again. In the winter of 2012, following a March 2012 diagnosis, Moody played recreational basketball again. After deciding she wanted to play adaptive sports rather than traditional standing sports, Moody joined a travel wheelchair basketball team in the fall of 2014. In November 2017, she went to a national team development camp at the US Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, where she was invited back to tryouts in January.
In 2018, Moody made the national team at her first selection camp and has been on the team since. Outside of the bronze medal, her accolades include two national championships with Alabama in her freshman and sophomore years (2021, 2022) and a gold medal at the U25 Women's Wheelchair Basketball World Championships (2019). She has also won silver medals at the Parapan American Games (2019) and the Americas Cup (2022).
