Who is Alexia Michitti?

I’m Alexia Michitti, a motivational speaker, international soccer player, and founder of EM13RACE Adaptive Clothing. I was born without my right hand, but that difference became part of the foundation of my journey, from growing up playing sports to competing on the world stage with the U.S. Women’s Amputee National Team and helping win a silver medal at the Women’s Amputee World Cup. Today, I travel to schools sharing my story to help students build confidence, embrace who they are, and believe in what’s possible. Through powerful storytelling and live soccer freestyling demonstrations, I show students that the things that make them different can also make them strong.

Alexia won silver at the First ever Women’s Amputee Soccer World Cup, representing the USA. She was also named the first Golden Glove winner for best female amputee goalkeeper in the world!
