Able, gold medals: grand slams and smashing glass ceilings
Downloadable eAudiobook. Non fiction. Duration: 07:47:45. Read by Dylan Alcott. Dylan Alcott has never let his disability get in the way of what he wanted to achieve. His family treated him no differently to any other kid, and it was the best thing they ever did. Growing up, Dylan always had a positive attitude to life. So when he discovered sport, he?d have a go at anything and could always be found at the centre of the action, giving his best and playing to win. Then he tried wheelchair basketball and tennis and was hooked. Fast forward ten years or so, and the now three-time Paralympic gold medallist, Order of Australia recipient, Grand Slam tennis champion and philanthropist combines elite sport with a love for music (he?s a triple j radio announcer and is famous for his crowd-surfing). But Dylan?s greatest passion is changing the way those with disabilities are perceived, and to inspire young people - whether they have disabilities or are able-bodied - to achieve their dreams. It?s a passion that drives him every day of his life. In Able, Dylan shares his story. It?s the tale of someone who?s proud of who he is, who has a go, does everything with heart and soul, who always sees the upside and never takes himself too seriously. As inspiring, honest and funny as its author, Able proves that for every one thing you can?t do, there are 10,000 things that you can. Adult. Mode of access: World Wide Web.
