Ryanne Jackson lives in St Petersburg in Florida and loves golf. The 26-year-old is a current US national golf champion. Right from insisting to her family as a six-year-old that she was a left-handed player (even though she was right-handed in everything else), Ryanne has backed her own judgement.
This trust in herself helps Ryanne in dealing with her condition, muscular dystrophy. Although she can’t play as often as she would like to because she needs good rest, Ryanne practises and plays ‘smart’ (ie, thoughtfully), and has found a healthy mindset for playing her best golf.
In school her condition went undetected and classmates accused her of being lazy on the basketball court. With the help of her family, Ryanne would prove many people wrong, gain a golf scholarship to university and qualify for the most prestigious G4D (golf for the disabled) tournaments.
