This week WOA is providing you with the most brazen episode yet.
Our host Trent welcomes coach Jason Jones to the table along with a
few Williamson County Special Olympics Athletes- Norris Peterson,
Eric Wilson, and Matthew Drumright. Waves provide various type of
services to both Nooris and Eric and have had the pleasure of
meeting Matt through their friendship. To add some more fun to the
conversation, we have parent John Wilson on the mic. Listen to the
group share their experience being a team that motivates each other
as much as they tease each other. Jason stumbled into his role as
Weightlifting Coach not knowing that it would be a life-changing
experience. Now, 25 years later, Jason gets to work with an
incredible community and focus on learning what motivates his team.
As the conversation progresses Norris, Eric, and Matt find
themselves swapping favorite stories and challenging each other to
win. The trio have an unbreakable bond as they meet every Wednesday
to train, take vacations together, and (even if they aren't on the
same team) find ways to push each other towards their goals. Norris
shares about his own feature on ESPN, Matt talks about his upcoming
game as the assistant coach, and Eric speaks on what it's like to
be a part of a team. Listen to the entire conversation and find
yourself laughing with the whole room!
