Namibian coach propels sports careers of people with disabilities

WINDHOEK, March 17 (Xinhua) -- A Namibian coach is helping people with disabilities make their debuts as athletes.

Richard Goreseb, a grass-roots para-athletics coach from Windhoek, Namibia's capital, said he observed challenges of stigma and scarce mentorship for people with disabilities. After a successful span in active athletics in early 2016, he retired and diverted his attention to empowering others.
