After losing legs, Reggie Colton found a role model who inspired him
Reggie wants to continue playing for the Dallas Wheelchair Mavericks — the team he’s led to four titles — but he no longer has time to adequately train to compete at the National Wheelchair Basketball Association’s highest level.
Besides, he’d rather bounce on the trampoline with his 4-year-old son, Malik, wheel around the driveway in pursuit of 6-year-old R.C.’s bike or push 2-year-old Yasmine’s pedal car.
“I missed doing this with my father. You make ’em, you got to take care of them. I didn’t have a role model that was there every day, but I picked up bits and pieces from others who I thought was doing it right. You just have to get your inspiration and knowledge from wherever you can.”
How ’bout coming out to our 16th Annual Extravaganza for Physically Challenged at Bachman Lake June 2 &3? We would love for you to join us – a chance to try 30 different activities – the kids would love it AND, most importantly we bring in the top 48 wheelchair basketball players from around the country and they have 3-on-3 tournaments! Call Shorty ASAP to discuss…Thanks! (972) 524-4231
