#UCF HC Scott Frost answers a question on how he can stop momentum from turning on the Knights during games: “If you can explain to me how to keep a ball from getting volleyball-tipped up in the air, caught, and returned to the one-yard line, then I certainly won't call that play anymore."

Hope you enjoy this video and getting a different perspective on my life! I’m often posting about my successes and my journalism career, but rarely about what goes on behind the scenes. I want to change that by creating more content that promotes disability awareness and advocacy. As the only member of the UCF media with a physical disability, I don’t let that stop me from going out and doing the best reporting I can. Over the past three months, I’ve reached 1.7 million impressions on social media while covering the sports I love. I currently work for CBS Sports Knights247 and Sons of UCF. I’ve even had the opportunity to be featured in a FOX Sports piece that earned an Emmy nomination. But what you don’t always see are the challenges behind the scenes. Whether it’s getting up in the morning, using the bathroom, dealing with my wheelchair acting up throughout the day or not being able to move as quickly as my colleagues, I’m constantly forced to adapt and persevere. That’s the mindset I’ve developed throughout my life, and it continues to shape me as I grow into a young professional in this industry. My goal is to show that having a disability doesn’t mean you can’t chase your dreams. The journey might look different, but the passion and determination are just the same. This is just the beginning of sharing more of my life beyond the sidelines. ♿️ #UCF

Coach Frost is trying to be an advocate for change/fair playing field and I don’t think it’s being respected enough… “College Football is broken, I don’t know if you’d get that honest answer from everyone but everyone would agree.” Watch clip for entire context Knights247 Sons of UCF

Wow, I’m blessed beyond belief to have witnessed COACH PRIME giving me a shoutout telling me he’s proud of me and all the work I do especially with the adversity I deal with from my physical disability. Thank you Coach Prime it means the world. 🙏🏼 Growing up with a disability I knew I could never play professional football but my passion for the game never left instead it turned into a passion of speaking and analyzing the game. I’ve had more struggles than I could’ve imagined in my short life but I’ve always been determined to make my dream a reality and it’s coming true in front of me and Coach Prime helped me realize that even more. Now, I’m nowhere near close to my end goal but I want this to be a lesson towards anyone even if you have a struggle in your life or not, anything you want to do is possible with hard work and determination. You have the power to do whatever you want in this life. Thank you to everyone who supports my work and coverage. Thank you for supporting me turning my dream into a reality- Your favorite sports journalist in a ♿️

Cincinnati MBB Coach Wes Miller on Moustapha Thiam getting booed in his return to UCF: I hate in college basketball that guys don’t play the same place, I hate that what it’s become… The kids haven’t done anything wrong the adults have… The kids haven’t done anything wrong. Knights247 Sons of UCF
