Patner - Visa
What do we get out of sport? How can we cope with adversity and find the strength and motivation to fulfil our dreams? How important is the support of the loved ones in this whole process?
"JessZilla" brings us the story of a young boxer who dreams of performing at the Olympics, but an unforeseen obstacle stands in her way. Jess is a 10-year-old girl who bravely competes in a male-dominated sport.
We'll talk about perseverance, determination and overcoming challenges at any age. There will also be an opportunity to learn more about sports among people with disabilities and why it is so important to them.
