The Boise State Adaptive Athletics Tennis team: Steve Baxter, Kevin Falk, Randy Corbett and Tommy Schroeder

Globally, more than one billion people live with a disability, which can create barriers in everyday life. A fact that coach Steve Baxter is very aware of.

That's why he's heading up an adaptive sports program at Boise State University, giving athletes with physical disabilities the chance to compete in the sports they love.

Baxter joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this effort.
