Jaide Bucher, Defying Doubt | Gatorade – Win From Within Series
Intro
Jaide off the field
Meet Jaide Bucher.
Here is a great story about overcoming a serious physical challenge to excel in competition with others with no limitations.
I have posted stories from the Gatorade Channel a few times in the past but I didn’t see any new material for a while so I looked elsewhere for inspirational sports stories.
Well, the Gatorade Channel is active again.

Jaide Bucher was born with one hand, but that doesn’t keep her from playing the game she loves. Forced to learn to play unlike anyone else, she met the challenge with an unwavering determination that she carries with her every time she steps on the field.
Jaide is a capable hitter, too.

Now let’s watch Jaide in action.
Maybe its just me but I think the really impressive takeaway in this story isn’t the impressive softball capability that Jaide fought so hard to develop.
The most impressive thing is the self confidence off the field that Jaide has learned from her on the field ability to play softball. She sees herself as a whole person – not lacking or “handicapped”.
That will serve her well all her life.
Etc.
