ONE ON ONE WITH PARALYMPIAN JONATHAN GOERLACH (PART ONE)

The Tokyo Paralympics was a proud moment for all Australians with our Aussie superstars totalling an incredible 80 medals at the games. On this week’s episode we take you behind the scenes of the Paralympics and share the incredible story of Para-triathlete and Paralympian Jonathan Goerlach. In Part One of the series, Jono talks about his childhood growing up in Nowra, his love for sport as well as growing up with a disability known as Usher Syndrome. Jono shares his experience with hearing difficulties as a child before being diagnosed with vision loss at aged 15 called retinitis pigmentosa. Overtime it meant that Jono experienced moderate hearing loss, no peripheral vision, night-blindness, and tunnel vision. Did that stop Jono from achieving his goals? Not a chance!A journey that took years of hard work, dedication, sacrifice and resilience to overcome some unbelievable setbacks, “Jono” questioned if he could ever achieve his dream. But join me as Jono shares his story as he found his way back to sport and started his journey to become a Paralympian. If you’re looking for motivation in lockdown, this is the episode for you.~ Dan  🙌 www.mojosports.com.au Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
