WCA Gym PRESENTATION
INTRODUCTION
“Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.”
-William Arthur Ward
INTRODUCTION
Active high school athlete Nick Scott was
confined to a wheelchair after a
devastating car crash.
Today, Mr. Scott is an award-winning wheelchair bodybuilder, champion ballroom dancer, certified fitness trainer, motivational speaker, and
Founder, CEO, and President of Wheelchair Athletics.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Wheelchair Athletics’ ongoing mission is to provide both the
physical and psychological support needed to give
disabled people the confidence and independence they
deserve, and the help they need to face their challenges
and overcome what might seem to be insurmountable
barriers.
Our next project: a new nonprofit, wheelchair-
accessible gym in Kansas City.
