Description
About Alyse
Limb Difference: Congenital
Type: Right Arm, Below Elbow
Sport: Tennis, Volleyball
Alyse’s parents went through genetic counseling after she was born
but no real cause was determined for the limb deficiency. Her older
sister, Lexi, has both arms. Alyse started using a prosthesis at six
months, but later more for length — pushing/pulling toys, clapping,
holding shirt sleeves up. Now it’s more of a tool as needed.
Growing up, Alyse was in dance and tumbling, played T-ball, played
soccer through eighth grade and has continued to play volleyball and
tennis in high school. She lifts weights regularly and even plays a
trumpet that is designed for a left-hander.
Sports + Highlights:
● Currently training for the Paralympic A2 sitting volleyball program
● Fort Madison High School (IA): Volleyball, back row (4yrs)
Bonus:
● Chicago Cubs & Chicago Blackhawks fan
“I have always felt like there isn’t anything that I can’t do or learn.
It has been such a rewarding experience to pass that confidence onto the
young NubAbility athletes at camp.” - Coach Alyse
