00:06.210 --> 00:08.377
I've been incredibly fortunate to find

00:08.377 --> 00:10.321
the world class athlete program to

00:10.321 --> 00:12.090
become a paralympian . I'm an

00:12.100 --> 00:14.229
accidental athlete . I started out my

00:14.239 --> 00:17.670
career as a 68 whiskey and use sport as

00:17.680 --> 00:19.847
recovery . And the world class athlete

00:19.847 --> 00:21.902
program opened up a whole new avenue

00:21.902 --> 00:23.958
for me to excel in sport while still

00:23.958 --> 00:26.879
recovering . When I was injured , I

00:26.889 --> 00:29.770
felt lost and having something else to

00:29.780 --> 00:32.380
concentrate on such as sport helped to

00:32.389 --> 00:34.479
give me a different avenue to heal

00:34.490 --> 00:36.268
through not just physically but

00:36.268 --> 00:36.380
mentally .
