Living with cerebral palsy hasn’t slowed down Burt’s passion for sports or his ability to inspire those around him. From cheering courtside in his favorite Harvard gear and homemade signs for his team to sending motivational messages and videos before matches, Burt has become a true teammate. In his eyes, the Harvard men’s tennis team is invincible.
