Testimonies on the Défi sportif AlterGo
The Défi sportif AlterGo encourages him to move. It helps him see that he can do things too, that he can play sports. He doesn’t have to sit around doing nothing. Everything is adapted, so he can stay active and achieve his dreams. Adapted sports are truly amazing for our children who are different.
The Défi sportif AlterGo completely changed the level of confidence I had in myself. Seeing other young people thrive and accept their differences inspired me and helped me gain more confidence in myself. The accomplishments I achieved during the event filled me with pride and happiness and push me to keep pushing my limits in my sport, but also in everyday life. Thank you, Défi sportif AlterGo!
Sometimes it’s more difficult for them to join regular sports leagues because of their needs. The Défi sportif AlterGo allows them to see what it’s like and experience it firsthand, while also helping them grow personally, through both victory and defeat.
It was at the Défi sportif AlterGo that I met Chantal Petitclerc, and it left a lasting impression on me. For me, this event is an opportunity to learn a lot about adapted sports.
From the very beginning of the year, the young people keep asking us when the Défi sportif AlterGo will take place. The experience they have there really boosts their self-esteem. Practicing a sport develops their social skills and confidence. They become more enthusiastic and more cheerful.
At school, the young people are used to struggling more or being the least skilled in physical education classes. By participating in the Défi sportif AlterGo, they are encouraged to play a sport, they feel motivated, which helps them develop passions and later inspires them to take part in community activities.
