Description:

This course stems from the experience of more than 20 years that saw Cristiana first approach, then cross and finally walk into the world of sport and disability at 360 degrees: from the recreational motor dimension to the elite Paralympic dimension. Every stage of this journey has left them something and has helped to create within themselves the certainty that at any level of disability there is a high possibility of doing something, of improving a piece of the world in their lives, also thanks to the powerful tool of sport (on multiple levels). There are no empty boxes or anything permanently turned off.

In this lesson, let's see the analysis of the data collected by Cristiana and the related results extracted from her research on a sample of about 20 Elite Paralympic Athletes. The data that we are going to see will be explained and told in detail, beyond the data alone. In fact, we will outline personality traits, the enhancement of a positive context to highlight the traumatic event (not everyone becomes champion)

Now let's look at non-competitive walking sports within medium-severe disabilities, in particular intellectual disabilities. After a 20-year journey, Cristiana affirms, “sport is a powerful tool that has the strength to restore millimeters or meters of normality at any level of disability.” We will see the path that Cristiana has led so far today.
