Key Words: Adaptive Sports, Athletic inclusion, Short documentary, Interviews, Athletes
Our group has put together a short documentary about adaptive sports, specifically here at the University of Michigan. The documentary includes b-roll of athletes training and playing different sports, along with interviews with athletes and one of the directors of the program.
Our aim with this project was to first educate ourselves more about this program. Through our further understanding and research of this program, we have grown very passionate about this program and its importance. Through the help of this documentary, we hope to educate our peers and the greater Michigan community. As more people learn about the power Adaptive Sports fosters, the greater positive impact the program can have.
Our documentary is presented in the form of a YouTube video with video and audio captions.
We hope you enjoy learning about Adaptive Sports and the future of our program!
