Languages spoken:

Brad Dubberley [national], AUS

He began playing wheelchair rugby in 2013. (paralympic.org.au, 25 Apr 2019)

"I think I started training about six months after my injury. I think I was first drawn in by the intensity above anything else. It just looked so high-energy, it really made an impact on me in terms of getting back into society. I don't really have depression or anything, but after the accident I could kind of understand where people come from when they have that feeling of being separated from absolutely everyone and everything. Getting into the sport was really my way of saying to myself, 'No, enough, it's time to get back and involved in life again'." (yourlocalexaminer.com.au, 02 Aug 2018)
