Hey, so I AM going to do my first competition. I need help finding the right one, right coach, etc. Here is the kicker- I am almost completely blind, not totally, I have enough to vision in my left eye to walk around and not slam head first into a wall (or fellow competitor for that matter) lol. Every coach I have met has said, its a bad idea, not realistic. Well, I dont want to go into the Physically Challenged portion- so any advice at where to start would be great! Thanks!!!

Hi Grilled Chick,
Wow, awesome that you are wanting to compete! Congrats on taking this first step.
Will training effect your eyes at all? Will it make your vision worse? I guess I would suggest getting clearance from your Doctor first that weight training / competition training will not effect your vision as I am guessing the coaches are scared your condition could get worse.
Once you have clearance, coaches should not discriminate against you because you are nearly blind!0
