Paradox Sports seeks to recognize and foster an individual's potential and strength, defying the assumption that people with a physical disability can't lead a life of excellence. We provide inspiration, opportunities and specialized adaptive equipment so that the physically disabled can be active participants in human-powered outdoor sports. This mission, coupled with an individualized mentorship program and a strong volunteer ethic, ensures success by providing opportunities for everyone to give back to the community.
We have all been affected by the challenges facing the disabled--personally or through family and friends--and, as a result, we have chosen to invest our time in making a difference. Whether we're climbing, paddling, biking, surfing or hiking, the physical challenge in a natural environment brings us together as a tight-knit community with a common vision: the desire to live a life of excellence, to pursue our dreams and reach our goals while helping others reach theirs.
- Paradox Sports team members inspire others by way of example. They actively and visibly participate in human powered outdoor sports, attend outdoor sporting festivals and events, and volunteer to support those events.
- Paradox Sports supports disabled athletes in participating in any activity compatible with our mission. Through the sponsorship of appropriate events and supporting the attainment of personal goals, Paradox Sports helps people with disabilities take advantage of opportunities that help them in their pursuit of excellence.
- For many with a physical disability a major barrier to participating in sporting activities is the lack of, or inability to finance the adaptive equipment needed to participate. Paradox Sports removes this barrier by funding the development and acquisition of the equipment needed to participate in human-powered outdoor sports.
- Paradox Sports builds a community around the active disabled that combines participation in human powered outdoor sports, a strong volunteer program centered around disabled athletes participating in the organization of appropriate events and the building of a strong online community.
