At just 19, Baileigh Sinamandaniel did something no one in NCAA women’s basketball had ever done before—she scored, with just one arm.
Her historic basket wasn’t just a milestone for sports, but a powerful moment for everyone who’s ever felt different or doubted.
Growing up in Massachusetts, Baileigh learned early on how to adapt, persevere, and play the game her way.
Now, as a college athlete in the US, her story is rippling far beyond the court—reaching kids, families, and fellow athletes around the world.
With humility and heart, she’s showing us what true resilience looks like. This isn’t a story about overcoming disability.
It’s a story about strength, purpose, and redefining what’s possible—with joy.
