After Retirement, These Disabled Athletes Become Instructors for Public Skiing

In fact, joining professional teams as coaches is the preferred choice for most retired disabled athletes.

They are breaking down prejudices and showing more people the possibility of disabled individuals integrating into society and giving back.
