OZASA Brings Adaptive Sports to Bentonville

A New American Town - Bentonville, Arkansas

Join us as we explore the remarkable journeys of Sean Kent, founder and president of the Ozark Adaptive Sports Association (OZASA), and event planner Brian Carlson. Both have turned personal challenges into a mission to expand adaptive sports in Northwest Arkansas. Sean's story begins with his love for wheelchair rugby, which propelled him to establish OZASA as a beacon of inclusivity in the region. Brian brings his passion for cycling, sharing how technological advancements in adaptive biking have changed the landscape of trail accessibility. Together, they envision a vibrant community where sports like cycling, pickleball, and archery are available to everyone, regardless of ability.
The podcast highlights OZASA's off-road adaptive cycling event, October 24- 27. Set against the stunning backdrop of Bentonville, this event is not just about sports; it's about creating shared experiences and shows that adaptive sports are not just about physical activity but about building a supportive, inclusive community for all.
