I started dreaming big dreams about sports again, as I did when I was a young athlete. But my team wasn't good enough, the Israeli national team wasn't good enough, we were last in Europe. So thinking about individual sport was actually the route to try and get to the Paralympic Games. The Paralympic Committee in Israel, they recommended rowing based on my athletic abilities and my height, even though I've never rowed in my life. I didn't even like any water sports before. I had a dream and I decided that I would at least try." (All Inclusive podcast, 26 Apr 2021)
