Becoming Para Ready
Proactive
BE PROACTIVE AND PREPARED TO SUPPORT PARA ATHLETES
· Welcoming Athletes with a disability in your program starts with a YES. Be open to the notion and start to educate yourself on what this means.
· Para Athletes will often assume they are not welcome into a program due to historical exclusion and barriers to participation.
ACTIONS
- Bring up Becoming Para Ready to folks in your club, ask: what is currently happening in our club in terms of athletics for athletes with a disability? what can we do better at? who needs to be involved?
- Finally, take a pledge to become Para Ready in your club/organization and engage yourself in learning more.
