Shelby Baron is a two-time Paralympian who has competed on the world’s biggest stage—twice. Her journey to the top wasn’t easy, but it’s defined by resilience, determination, and a deep love for the game.

“I was able to play with an able-bodied team and peers in my age. And then from there, I just fell in love with the sport.”

Born with spina bifida in Hawaii, Shelby was introduced to adaptive sports after struggling to keep up in PE. “She introduced me to a wheelchair, and it kind of like opened my eyes as to what was possible out there.”

She represented Team USA at both the Rio and Tokyo Paralympic Games—and now works in USTA’s player development to support the next generation.

Her journey proves that with the right support and mindset, limits can become launchpads.
