ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIR HOCKEY

I use a wheelchair on a daily basis, and at the age of 12, I discovered the sport of my life: electric wheelchair hockey. I have been practicing this sport for 14 years now.

In the very beginning, an old friend introduced me to the sport. When I started playing for the first time, it felt strange but incredibly exciting. For a long time, I played with a slow wheelchair and never had the opportunity to play at a higher level.

In 2022, I received a sponsored sports wheelchair, and since then, everything has progressed rapidly. I have now become a part of Belgium's national team.
