Sarah Adam Biography

Sarah Adam, a wheelchair rugby player, is making history in the tough sport known as “Murder Ball.” She is the first woman to compete in wheelchair rugby at the Paralympic Games for Team USA in Paris 2024, securing a silver medal. She was lauded as one of the top breakout performers on the Road to Paris in 2023.

At the 2023 Parapan American Games, Adam not only became the first woman ever to claim gold in wheelchair rugby at the Parapan American Games, but she was one of the top athletes on the court as well. She scored the second-highest point total of the tournament and helped guarantee Team USA a coveted spot at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

Adding to her accolades, Adam played a crucial role in her team earning the silver medal at the 2022 Wheelchair Rugby World Championship, further solidifying her standing as a formidable force in the sport.

Beyond her athletic endeavors, Adam also works as a Professor of Occupational Therapy at Saint Louis University in Missouri.

Adam’s journey in wheelchair rugby began in 2013 when, as an able-bodied volunteer at a regional para-sport event, she was introduced to the sport that would later become her passion. A former softball player in high school and at Augustana College, Adam's life took an unexpected turn in 2016 when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis while pursuing her Graduate studies at Washington University in St. Louis.
