Jacob Counts

We are thrilled to have Cincinnati native and professional wheelchair basketball player Jacob Counts share his journey!

Jacob Counts has played basketball since 1999 on five different continents, but is best known for his off-the-bench performance at the Parapan American Games, where he scored 11 points and grabbed ten rebounds in a 52-50 victory to bring home the gold!

After returning home he founded the Greater Cincinnati Adapted Sports Club and is currently pursuing his passion for basketball as the head coach of the Cincinnati Dragons!
