A lifelong athlete, Steve Emt, was a former basketball player at the University of Connecticut when he had a vehicle accident in 1995. He continued his love of sports and said he attempted different sports for seventeen years, including basketball, until he found curling. Once he found the new sport he began to thrive and soon he was excelling. He became a member of the United States’ team and competed in his first World Championship in 2015. Steve recalled the beautiful moment of when he received his team jersey and gear and how emotional it made him on his long journey. He is now a part of Team USA at the Paralympics at Pyeongchang.
