After retiring from competition, Will worked as a commentator for ESPN's XGames. Sarah also served as a commentator for NBC Universal Sports coverage of the Paralympic games in Vancouver, BC and the following games in Sochi, Russia.

In her spare time, Sarah enjoys painting, mainly for charity events.
