“When the necessary resources are available to practice sports, the concept of disability fades away.”

She is passionate about sports, eager to continue traveling around this beautiful world, and ready to help make it an ideal place for everyone.

BETHANY HAMILTON - AN INSPIRATIONAL ROLE MODEL

“Bethany Hamilton, an American surfer, has become a role model of resilience. After surviving a shark attack in 2003, she demonstrated immense courage and determination with her inspiring motto: ‘Courage means you don’t let fear stop you.’ Her example continues to motivate many people to face their own challenges without being overwhelmed by fear.”

DIVERSITY IN SPORTS

“Barriers and limitations exist all around us, both physically and in terms of awareness and empathy. When the necessary resources are available—such as adapted equipment, accessible transportation, qualified personnel to support athletes, institutional backing, and projects promoting sports—we can talk about sports inclusively, not just in terms of inclusion.”

PROMOTING DIVERSITY IN SPORT

“The media play an essential role in giving visibility to the experiences, challenges, demands, and dedication of people with disabilities in the world of sports. Creating this visibility means bringing attention to a reality that exists and has been hidden for too long. Allowing each of these athletes to raise their voices and share their experiences and triumphs is not only an achievement for them but also a way to continue raising awareness, educating society, and inspiring others who may be in similar situations to find their desired lifestyle through sports.”
