About Me
- John Bishop
- West Palm Beach, Florida, United States
- My name is John Bishop, President of the International Wheelchair Rugby Federation (IWRF). I first became involved with wheelchair rugby as a player with a new team in South Florida back in 1991. While I was never a great athlete, I loved the action and hard hits of the game, as well as the camaraderie that makes this sport so great. Since my early days as a player I've filled a lot of different roles, including being Team Manager for USA Wheelchair Rugby (1999-2004), and serving on the Board of the USQRA from 1996-2007. In 2005 I joined the Board of the IWRF as VP of Communications, and in 2010 was elected as its third President. Being involved with a sport that has become my life passion has allowed me to travel and experience the world in ways that I never could have imagined. Most importantly, it has provided me with a pathway around the globe to help introduce countless others with a disability to this amazing sport, one which dramatically changes the lives of all who become involved. I am very grateful to have this incredible opportunity, and invite you to join me on my adventures through this blog.
