"Just because you have a disability doesn't mean you are limited. You just have to find that one thing in life that makes you feel free and go for it."For athletes who have similar impairments to Meyers, she wants them to know that half the battle is showing up."Especially in a competition, you never know if someone else is off their game and it could be your day. You just got to be ready for anything, and sometimes all you got to do is just show up.
The most important thing, Meyers concluded, is making sure that you enjoy the sport you're in because it can be an escape."Swimming, for me, is my happy place, my therapy place, and so I can go to the pool and just forget that I'm deaf, forget that I'm visually impaired, and swim for the love of it." She added,"Just because you have a disability doesn't mean you are limited. You just have to find that one thing in life that makes you feel free and go for it.
