Growing up in San Diego with a father who was a sports anchor meant only one thing -- the topic of conversation in Steve's house usually centered around the Padres, Chargers, Aztecs and even the Clippers.
SAN DIEGO — Chris Adamson is a sophomore at Mission Bay High School. Although he lacks sight due to his blindness, he certainly doesn't lack courage. In the spring, he is a part of the Mission Bay track team, and now you can find him each and every day out at the Buccaneers' football practice."I just love coming out here checking out the practices, and watching all the games," Adamson says.
"There are a lot of formations the coaches describe. A lot of left formations and right formations. I have a playbook with a lot of passing set ups and things like that," he says. "We want to make sure he doesn't get hurt," says coach Danny Perez."That is the biggest thing — because I know mom is like 'He better not get tackled.'"
Adamson making the effort to run on the track team, and now getting the opportunity to possibly carry the football in a game, is inspiring other disabled athletes.
