Keynote Speaker:
MATT SCOTT is a five-time Paralympian in the sport of wheelchair basketball and is a three-time medalist including at the recent Tokyo 2020 Games. He is a pioneer and a champion for not only wheelchair basketball and Paralympians, but for all athletes with disabilities. He continues to be an outspoken advocate for inclusion and universal participation in sport.
Born with spina bifida, Scott began using a wheelchair at early age. He pursued his love for sport by taking up wheelchair basketball at 14 years old. Matt showed early promise and talent, and he was recruited by the U.S. men’s national wheelchair basketball team directly out of high school.
Matt has competed in every Paralympic Games since his high school graduation: Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, London 2012, Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. He has been nominated for an ESPY, became the first U.S. Paralympian to star in a Nike commercial, appeared in an Apple commercial, and gathered millions of views worldwide displaying his talents with online presence.
These accomplishments came while Matt has continued to support adaptive sport athletes through a variety of community initiatives and supportive programming. He is currently working with the Visa Corporation to create opportunities for people with disabilities in the corporate space.
Matt joins us at the District Assembly on March 25 to share his story of teamwork and leadership to inspire our Rotary clubs to reach their own “gold medal” potential for projects and other goals in 2023-24!
