He's represented Canada at the Paralympics six times and led his team to win three gold — and one silver — medals. But since he first started playing in the 1990s, the sport has changed dramatically. He says that's due in part to the technological innovations in wheelchair athletics. In this episode, guest host Andrew Mambo chats with Patrick about the reasons for these changes. They also cover the origin of the sport, how the innovations that have changed gameplay and the rising popularity of wheelchair basketball around the world.

In episode 249 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Charlie Bethel. Charlie is currently the CEO of the UK Men's Sheds Association (UKMSA). The concept of the Men's Shed started in Australia in around 1999. It then spread to New Zealand, Ireland, the UK, Canada and, more recently, Europe and the USA. At time of recording, there are a total of 1180 Sheds across the UK. Men's Sheds (or Sheds) are similar to garden sheds, in that they are a place to pursue practical interests at leisure, to practice skills and enjoy making and mending. However, the difference is that garden sheds and their activities are often solitary in nature while Men's Sheds are the opposite. These unique concepts are about social connections and friendship building, sharing skills and knowledge and a lot of laughter. Although labelled Sheds, they often aren't sheds at all. They can be empty offices, portable cabin's, warehouses, garages, and in at least one case, a disused mortuary. Some Sheds are purpose-built workshops, but they rarely start out that way. Many don't have premises at all in the beginning and instead form a group that meets regularly for the social connection, company and camaraderie. Many Sheds get involved in community projects too – restoring village features, helping maintain parks and green spaces, and building things for schools, libraries and individuals in need. In this episode we discuss how Charlie came to be in the role of CEO at UKMSA and his background in Paralympic Sport, particularly Wheelchair Basketball. We then discuss the genesis of the Men's Shed and the role they play in the lives of the men who are members, the statistics that back this up, the benefits they provide to the local community and in turn, for the mental health of the men in giving them connection, achievement and pride. We pick out some of Charlie's favourite stories of the work the Sheds have done, how they have saved lives and some of the UKMSA's key projects, including ShedFest. We explore how Sheds cut across class lines and age boundaries in bringing men together and building bridges. For Charlie's mental health, we discuss fatherhood, his love of walking and the importance of self-care when he noticed his general mental health was declining during a house build he did with his wife.

  This week, we dive into the inspiring journey of Jake Williams, a remarkable individual whose resilience and dedication have defined his path to greatness. Join us as we sit down with Jake Williams, a 2-time Paralympian and 2-time Paralympic gold medalist for Team USA. At just 16 years old, Jake's life took an unexpected turn when he was struck by a car while riding his bike, leaving him paralyzed. Amidst the challenges of recovery, Jake found renewed hope and purpose through wheelchair basketball, inspired by a visit from Chris Okon, a player from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Against all odds, Jake remarkably took up wheelchair basketball only four months after his life-altering accident. His journey is a testament to the power of determination and hard work, demonstrating the profound impact of believing in oneself and striving relentlessly towards excellence. As Jake prepares for the upcoming Summer Paralympics in Paris, we explore the highs and lows of his athletic career, the lessons learned along the way, and the unwavering support that has fueled his remarkable achievements. Jake's story is not just about overcoming adversity—it's about embracing challenges, pushing boundaries, and inspiring others with every hoop he sinks and every medal he wins. Tune in to this episode as we celebrate Jake's journey, his unyielding spirit, and the profound message that with perseverance and passion, anything is possible. Thank you for joining us on the "Every 4 Years" Podcast, where we bring you the stories that define the heart of the Paralympic movement.   Jake Williams Instagram: @jakeusa2 Facebook: @jakewilliams     Every 4 Years Podcast Instagram: @every4yearspodcast Twitter: @every4yearspodcast Facebook: @every4yearspodcast

Less than a hundred years ago, wheelchairs were big clunky wooden chairs that couldn't even fit through most doorways.  But in the 1930s, a pair of engineers dreamed up a  new kind of wheelchair that would change the lives of wheelchair-users dramatically. In fact, some of them invented a new sport that would become a worldwide sensation: wheelchair basketball. Join Joy and co-host Otis as they explore the history of this amazing sport and check out Otis' wheelchair basketball practice! Plus, an all new First Things First!Resources:If you want to read more about the history of wheelchair basketball, check out this article by David Davis.

As we get started on this episode, I want you to take a second and think about the qualities that define you. What are the different things that make you… you? Do you love those qualities? Or are they something you feel like you need to battle? For my guest Ryan Neiswender, it took time for him to learn to love the quality he hated most about himself. But when he did, he reached the loftiest heights an athlete can reach. Ryan was born with Arthrogryposis, a rare condition that impacted the development of his legs. By the age of 8, he would need to use a wheelchair to get around. But rather than feel constrained by his chair, Ryan felt he could move effortlessly. Then one day his parents took the sports obsessed Ryan to a nearby wheel chair basketball clinic, and the rest they say is history. Actual literal history, because Ryan went on to not only excel at the sport, he ended up winning a gold medal for Team USA at the 2020 Paralympic games in Tokyo. In our conversation we talk at length about Ryan's journey and what he's learned about himself along the way. We go into the highs of winning a gold medal, and more recent lows associated with the sport. But most importantly, we talk about the mindset and strategies he's developed that prepare him to deal with those emotional peaks and valleys.

Wheelchair Basketball star Cindy Ouellet is preparing for a spot at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, France. Alex Smyth has an exclusive interview with her! This is the April 4, 2024, episode.

Tara Llanes has been wildly accomplished at the high levels of multiple sports - BMX, MTB, and wheelchair basketball, not to mention wheelchair tennis - and she also has a whole lot more life experience to share. In 2007, in what she thought was her second-to-last race before retiring from her career as a mountain biker, a devastating crash changed things for her. She spent the next several years going through intense processing, a move to Canada, some serious mental low points, a growing interest in tennis, and much more before she found herself on the basketball court to improve her speed as a wheelchair tennis player. Wheelchair basketball stuck. Tara clearly knows how to train hard, and that continues to take her far. She's now preparing for her second Paralympics, this one in Paris, and plans to then step away from high-level competition - retiring the right way this time. Brian and I sat down with Tara in Vancouver, where she lives, to talk about that whole process. While we imagined this episode would end up the same length as most of our podcast episodes, we just kept finding more conversation. Tara is clearly smart, capable, an incredible athlete, and seriously strong as a person, and we were glad for every minute she spent with us.
