MMA, Disability & Starting from Scratch | Zac - Rolling Forward Podcast Ep 1

Meet Zac: MMA trainer, aspiring nurse, and the kind of guy who’ll choke you out and fix your broken arm. We talk combat sports, disability, and finding purpose when life throws you uppercuts.

This episode is raw—and not just emotionally. My GoPro battery life shows on screen. The camera overheats. Someone knocks on the door mid-thought. It's not perfect... but it’s real.

If you're into growth, grit, and figuring it out one swing at a time—you’re in the right place. Episode by episode, I’m building this into a world-class podcast. Stick around. It only gets better.

On the Rolling Forward Podcast we explore real stories, tough questions, and the moments that define us—and laugh a little along the way. Whether you’re into adaptive sports, mental health, growth mindset, or just crave unfiltered conversations—you’re in the right place.

About me Zack Sikora (AKA Wheelz):
I was born with Spina Bifida and use a wheelchair—but that’s just the start of the story. I’ve played and now coach Wheelchair Tennis, Para Standing, Adaptive, and Blind & Visually Impaired Tennis. I also train MMA, and yes—those two worlds overlap more than you’d think.
I started this podcast to show people what’s possible—through real conversations with people rolling forward in sport, life, and everything in between.
Join the journey. Let's grow together.
