Don’t Tell Me Words Don’t Matter
How is it that some people are so amazing at motivating others? That they always find the right thing to say in the right moment? I believe that most of the times it is a delicate mix between talent and practice. Becuase it really doesn't matter how talented you are, if you never practiced. It …
First competition in 9 years
I didn't think that it would be that hard. 50 m freestyle. 9 years ago I did 2.000 meters per training session.

The Sports Gala for 2008 is over, and looking back it's been an amazing year for Paralympians and disabled sport.
