Congratulations to Maya Austerman, the 2022 Cleveland Clinic Sports Medicine Courage Award Winner!
Currently a junior at Avon Lake High School, Maya was diagnosed with a breathing condition in 2021 called EILO, a condition where her vocal cords closer rather than opening during exercise. With months of therapy and hard work she made her return to playing the sport she loves, basketball.
Maya's full journey of courage was revealed during the 23rd Greater Cleveland Sports Awards presented by Medical Mutual and Ancora on Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
