Walking Soccer for Parkinson's: Building Community and Confidence

Soccer and Parkinson's may not seem like an obvious connection—but for a growing number of people around the world, the beautiful game offers far more than exercise. 

In this episode of the Parkinson's Podcast, Chris Krueger talks with Keith Sides about his experience participating in a Walking Soccer for Parkinson's program. Together, they discuss balance, coordination, confidence, community, and the value of trying something new after a Parkinson's diagnosis. 

Whether you're a lifelong soccer fan or have never kicked a ball before, this conversation explores how finding enjoyable ways to move can support living well with Parkinson's.
