Today, Pete does a sterling job interviewing his coach, Dane who is now back from his experience as a team physiotherapist at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. From hotel quarantine, Dane shares how lucky he feels to have had this Paralympic opportunity and how it came about. How he has come home with some new personal heroes, not just from an ‘athletic performance’ standpoint but from a real humanistic, ‘how to optimize life’ front. It was so endearing to see that for so many Paralympians, motivation to perform was less about self and more about destigmatizing disability and inspiring others. He speaks of the incredible energy and vibe he felt amongst the whole Aussie team. What life was like inside the Aussie Paralympic Village? He reflects on snippets of a never-ending highlights reel. He discusses some of what he learnt throughout the whole experience, including performing when it counts on the biggest stage. It’s a great insight into how enriching, empowering, invigorating and inspirational sport can be, especially in a time like this.
