SHARED GOALS

Sport plays a big role in my life. I have the opportunity to do something I love every day and be a role model for others.

I'm also a team player. I love training with the squad and getting better every day. We have shared goals and we do everything to achieve them.

You win together, but you also lose together.

MORE SELF-CONFIDENCE

I was born with spina bifida. I grew up and went to school in Bayreuth and started playing wheelchair basketball at RSV Bayreuth when I was 11.

Luckily my disability didn't present a problem at primary school, high school or in any other situations. Though as a child I was always a bit shy and insecure. But the sport helped me to become more open and more self-confident.

 

"After playing basketball for the first time, I was hooked. I was really impressed by how dynamic it is and how the players really get stuck in."
My sports wheelchair
"The low weight of my RGK Elite X makes it easy to move. It's the best basketball wheelchair I've ever had."

My everyday wheelchair
"I like how light my RGK Octane Sub 4 is, which makes it easy to load into a car etc. And it's easy to use in everyday life. And it looks great!"
