Philip Scholz is a swimmer who represented the United States at the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games. Currently a student-athlete on Loyola University Maryland’s Division I swim team, Philip is now blogging about his experiences as he prepares for the London 2012 Paralympic Games. At a young age, Philip was diagnosed with Stickler Syndrome, a genetic defect that can cause problems with the ears, eyes, throat, and joints. Philip went blind in his left eye at the age of six due to retinal detachments. Born in Munich, Philip has dual citizenship with Germany and the United States, but when he competes, he is all red, white and blue. An ESPY nominee, Philip is quite an inspiration around his Baltimore college campus and within the Team USA community as well.
