My story

Since I was a child, I dreamed to be a professional athlete (mostly football). Next month I'll take part in my second Paralympic Games in Tokyo! 💪
After my service in the IDF, I went on a 1-year trip with my girlfriend to Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand. Four days before the flight home we went for a one-day sail near Koh phi phi island. Suddenly, a storm started and the ship was drowning. I slept close to the engine of the ship, and it sucked me into it and cut my 2 legs. One of them was saved. When I realized I managed to save my life, I decided I'm going to do any challenge that I'm dreaming of. During my university study (mechanical engineering), I started playing wheelchair tennis. Since then I have been 6 times the Israel champion, and soon I'll play my second Paralympic games. And most important, we have 3 little and amazing kids. So, don't wait to get injured, go for your dreams before its too late 🤟🤟
