Nothing gets in the way of Ken McGrory’s love for basketball.
"I've played basketball my whole life. At 17, I had an accident to my right arm, so I learned to play basketball all over again left-handed," he says. "An injury should not stop you, or a perceived disability should not stop you from trying something that you want to do."
Today, McGrory shares that lesson by coaching young players with special needs.
"There are players that are on all levels of the autism spectrum," McGrory says. "We have players who have physical disabilities, and perhaps, we have a number of players who have brain issues. Typically, they would not be invited to play in a in a typical league because of whatever issues they may have. I think it's inside of me that I encourage every single kid to do their best."
