hi I’m Veronica watchmojo.com and today
we’re speaking with Paralympian multi
medalists and motivational speaker
Chantelle pizza Claire how can being
involved in a sport help you overcome
your everyday issues you cannot go wrong
by including sport and fitness into your
life whether you do it twice a week or
twice a day and the positive impacts of
sport and fitness and training they are
there for everybody but I have to say
they are even more important for people
with disability because you have to deal
with sometimes physical limits or
weaknesses and being fit is really what
makes it possible for me to grab my
everyday chair and put it in and out of
my car 10 times a day without feeling
like it’s too heavy or if it or it’s too
hard so so for people with disability I
think sport has the same health benefits
it has for everybody but it also
certainly increased the level of
Independence and and just being able to
live a normal daily life we always have
to face negative people and negative
thoughts no matter and limitations so
how do you deal with them I think sport
really does great things and making you
feel very confident in making you feel
like you can have a goal and your goal
can be you know small or big of very
ambitious and that it is possible to
make those dreams and those goals happen
I think and that’s true for everybody
and I think in terms of people with
disability sport really sends a very
strong message that kids and that people
and that athletes with disability do
have a lot more potential than limits as
well as a successful athlete you’re also
a motivational speaker what’s the most
common challenge that people face I
think the biggest challenge that
everybody encounters is making sure that
the goal that they have is real
and that they’re really passionate about
the goal that they choose and also ready
to do the hard work you know and every
time I speak to people I do speak about
having that big dream that I had to win
five Paralympic gold medals but I also
speak a lot about making sure that you
break down those goals and turn it into
daily tasks that is going to add up and
make it possible to reach that goal
believe in yourself for sure like you
need to believe that it is possible to
make those big dream happen but it’s not
enough if you’re not ready to to put the
hours and do the hard work and that’s
the part that we don’t want to know
about but that’s you know in the end
really the only way to succeed now not
everyone has the opportunity of joining
dizzy spell ative so if you’re somewhere
else in the world how do you find a
place where you can train I think the
big challenge with the Paralympic sports
and the Paralympic movement and just
sport for people with disability is that
every country is very different and the
respect and recognition for people with
disability is certainly not the same in
every country in some countries still
have to fight just for basic rights of
being recognized but I think when you
start looking no matter where you are
you will find that that there are people
who have an open mind and who will be
ready to help you either find the tools
or find the people if I find the clubs
and the structure and and and make it
possible for anybody to to enter into to
know about Paralympic sports or or just
fitness for people
thank you so much as great having you
well thank you
