Q & A

What is one barrier you have overcome? How did you do it and what did you learn?

2. What have you learned playing sports that you use in work/school/life? Answer: During my life I faced many barriers in sports or life in general. Me as an athlete with intellectual disabilities I was underestimated many times - but with my courage and stamina I proved that athletes with ID are just as marvelous as any other athlete. I am doing dance and gymnastics for 28 years and as 42 years old athlete I am lately facing a barrier when by many people I was considered old and that I should stop competing. Every day is a challenge for everyone I think but doing what I love (dance and gymnastics) is making me happy and I learned not to listen to anyone who tells me to stop doing something bc this is what keeps me happy and alive no matter my age.
