Dream of I(ux). This is the name of the book written by Mathieu Thomas, para-badminton champion, and published by City on April 24. The athlete, several times French champion and once European champion, looks back on his career and in particular on his 17 years with the diagnosis of cancer and the loss of mobility in his right leg after an operation. Until today and this dream of participating in the Paralympic Games in Paris. A dream of participation, but above all of a medal in para-badminton.
It traces the evolution of his relationship with disability and his current commitment to “making the invisible visible” and therefore promoting inclusion. It was at the age of 28 that he discovered badminton. A rebirth for him, who when younger, was passionate about sport. Through passion and work, Mathieu has a string of victories and climbs to the top in the world. This success makes him proud today.

Through this hopeful testimony, he wants to show his ability to overcome pain and failure. This book, designed in three axes, ultimately summarizes Mathieu’s journey: accept, transform and dream. His youth affected by cancer and disability, then badminton, the life of an entrepreneur and speaker, the commitment to accessibility and inclusion, the objective of the 2024 Games.
The last part “Dreaming” allows you to share, thanks to your experience, what enabled this evolution. An ode to life.
