INSIGHTS
«It is always an honor to be part of the national team – comments Chiara Meucci – in a professional sense, I was born with the aim of making sport practiced by athletes with disabilities known, helping many families who thought they had a problem at home to understand that that difficulty can become a success if you work on the children with dedication and competence.” An awareness acquired through living together, at home and in the gym, with the brother Amedeo, severely autistic, became Fisdir and Dijkam judo champion: «A very important person for me – says the coach who took her first steps on the tatami when she was 3 years old – for which I was laughed at as a child and with whom I experienced the disappointment of being excluded from sports centers because in several gyms Amedeo was considered unmanageable due to his pathology. I then decided to open my own business to welcome people with disabilities.
At the beginning there were only a few of us, then the word spread and today we have a good team that has won Italian and European championships.”
