Jeremy Lade.  Who’s that, well he is the head coach of the UW-Whitewater Mens Wheelchair basketball team who along with the women won a collegiate National Championship.  By the way, Jeremy is a great friend, coach, and player, so take a listen will ya.

Just goes to show you…You don’t have to be from a big city to big time.  Make sure you check back cause in no time at all Jeremy and I will talk about his travels when Team USA goes to London for the 2012 Paralympics. 

UW-Whitewater – What does that mean to some?  Championships!  Is it UCLA, Stanford, or USC?  No but check this out:

Ever hear of these schools?  I bet you have.  And if you put the number of National Championships that the abled bodied athletes have won at UW-Whitewater plus what the wheelchair basketball teams have done, you would have to mention them in the same breathe.  23 that is how many National Championships Whitewater has, 11 of those come from the Wheelchair basketball teams.  Would you say powerhouse program…Of course you would and so would I.

Thanks to Dan Price and Jeremy (Opie) Lade for being my first guests on Wheels in Motions.
