As sneakers skid across the gym floor and the basketball is passed from player to player, physical therapists Natalie (Peterson) ’17 and Chris Meinhold ’20 watch close by—ready to provide critical on-the-court assistance as needed and cheering on the players they’ve trained with over the course of the past two weeks. The basketball swishes, and their team—the USA men’s deaf basketball team—wins the 2023 World Deaf Basketball Championships in Heraklion, Greece, as the crowd erupts in cheers. The USA women’s team follows suit.
