#080 Doug Garner: Adaptive Sports, Coaching & Creating Belonging Episode
đ CTA: Share this episode with coaches, educators, and families supporting athletes with disabilities.
Doug Garner joins the IMAGiNE FiTTiNG IN⢠Podcast to discuss adaptive sports, wheelchair basketball, talent development, and the power of inclusion. Drawing from decades of coaching, education, and lived experience, Doug explains how sport can meet physical, psychological, and social needsâwhen access and mentorship are present.
đ§ Hosted by Greg Alan Jankowski â The Balance Professor ⢠Founder of JANART LLC and the BACE Program
Doug Garner is a former Head Coach and Adapted Sports Director at the University of Texas at Arlington, an educator, author, and nationally recognized leader in wheelchair basketball and adaptive sport development. With undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Sociology, a Masterâs in Behavioral Science, and a Masterâs in Education, Dougâs career has always centered on talent identification, athlete development, and helping every individual reach their potential.
Dougâs work in adaptive sports is deeply personal. His eldest son, born in 1986 with Spina Bifida, grew up in an era before the ADA, before accessible programming, and before the internet provided resources. Faced with limited options, Doug became creativeâintroducing his son to endurance sports such as road racing, swimming, triathlon, and eventually the California Ironman, which his son completed in 2023.
Dougâs collegiate coaching career includes four Intercollegiate Championships, an ITA National Championship, and the development of athletes competing professionally and on national teams worldwide. He also helped establish a Womenâs Wheelchair Basketball program at UT Arlington. Today, Doug continues his mission through books, training videos, and online education, supporting parents, teachers, coaches, and medical professionals working with athletes with physical disabilities.
