Abby Dunkin grew up shooting hoops on the driveway of her home in Texas.

In fact, for as long as she can remember, she has loved basketball – and that becomes clear when you take a look at her sporting CV.

She’s a two-time national champion and 2016 Paralympic champion, helping Team USA to bring home the gold in the wheelchair basketball.

And almost exactly a year after announcing her retirement, it’s the perfect time to sit down with Abby to talk about her extraordinary career.

We look at her love of the game; the medical conditions that left her unable to walk; bouncing back from hitting rock-bottom; the Paralympics; representation of the LGBTQ+ community in sport and so much more.

We think you’ll really like Abby, so definitely go and give her a follow!
