Carter Alvey, 17, was born with cerebral palsy, a condition that affects his muscle tone and motor skills. By the age of seven, Carter had undergone two surgeries to strengthen his spine and increase flexibility in his feet. He sleeps in leg braces at night but doesn’t let the challenges he was born with keep him from the soccer field. Last year, Carter flew to the U.S. Olympic Training Center in California to join 15 other youth players in a trial for the men’s Paralympic soccer team. While he waits to hear back from the U.S. team coaches, the high school senior is working on his application to Clemson University, home to an intramural Paralympic soccer program that serves as an unofficial farm system for the national team. It remains unclear what that next level of play will be for Carter, but the Kentucky youth believes the sky’s the limit.
