Eliana Mason: Goalball’s Only Part of Her Story

We’ve often talked about blind sports, going to class, and worklife as living out everyday advocacy. People seeing someone navigating life’s contours in any of these venues can see the abilities that people who are blind or low-vision possess. Then you roll all these facets of life in one person and you get ParaOlympic goalballer, social worker, and public speaker, Eliana Mason. On a recent Eyes Free Sports podcast, Greg Lindberg discussed many aspects of life while talking with Eliana. Of course, being from Fort Wayne, Indiana myself, I was excited to hear how she works at our local Turnstone Center and practices her goalball prowess there, too. Listen to her explain the facilities, the overall work of Turnstone and how she plays a part in its role in the disability community.

Here’s to you being inspired by this interview for your heightened awareness of our abilities and courage to navig your life’s contours boldly blind.

  1. Thank you so much for sharing my Eyes Free Sports podcast episode on your blog! Eliana was a joy to interview and possesses so much enthusiasm for her career on the goalball court, as a mental health professional, and in her life in general. It was a true honor to allow her to share her wonderful story.
