I had never heard the term "power soccer" until I met Kevin Williams, a 31-year-old wheelchair user, earlier this year. Basically, it's a sport played with an over-sized soccer ball by wheelchair users with guards on their feet. Williams LOVES power soccer. Well, CNN says the sport is "catching on." It produced this story on power soccer last week (see below). Check it out to learn the story of a power soccer player who left France to promote the sport here in the United States and another player who will graduate from college next spring with a degree in business management. During the interviews, notice the Invacare logo on the banner in the background.
