Students of all ages played a game of baseball at Florida Gulf Coast University's Swanson Stadium on Saturday.
However, it wasn't just any game of baseball. It was a special opportunity for the players.
It's just like two years old learning to walk something new, learning to talk," said baseball player Landon Marazon. "It's something you got to adapt to. It's like a new life, but NubAbility just makes that ten times easier."
Marazon is a member of NubAbility, a nonprofit that holds sports camps for children born with limb differences.
He had an ATV accident in 2018. He lost his hand, but not his determination.
"Full recovery was a year in therapy, but I was back on the baseball field in three weeks just practicing and learning how to play the game again," Marazon said.
It was NubAbility's sixth year playing at FGCU.
Sam Kuhnert, director and co-founder of NubAbility Athletics Foundation, said it's a different experience at FGCU.
"The players interact with the kids, and they are constantly engaging with them," he said.
Kuhnert has a missing limb himself. He said he felt the calling to start this for people like himself. The program means a lot to player Austin Tyree.
"To be able to see that it's not just me, and that there's other kids, people that have been successful, and players that play college baseball that are like me, it gives me faith," Tyree said.
Kuhnert works every day to push his players to their greatest potential with or without all limbs.
"The only person who can limit you in life is you," Kuhnert said. "The only disability in life, is the disabled mindset. Everybody can do anything they put their mind to. They just have to be willing to put in the work."
