Hosts Rachel Naylor and Lisa Fall, CMP, sit down with Jacob Pacheco, an elite adaptive athlete and keynote speaker at TAHPERD’s 102nd Annual Convention. Born with cerebral palsy, Jacob shares how he turned adversity into purpose through education, athletics, and advocacy. He discusses his belief that effort matters more than results, the role of routine in overcoming fear and self-doubt, and the power of community in personal growth. Jacob also reflects on his mission to create inclusive spaces and underscores how physical education fosters both wellness and belonging—on and off the field.
