She Broke Her Bones To Get Into Paralympics! Overcame PTSD at 9 To Become A World Football Champion! How She Responded To People Saying “You Don’t Look Disabled!” – Rae Anderson
She broke her bones to ski, trained through clinical PTSD, and now is a world champion footballer and dual paralympian.
Rae Anderson is a dual Paralympian who’s represented Australia in long jump, javelin, alpine skiing, and football. From being told she didn’t “look disabled” to winning a World Cup with the ParaMatildas, Rae’s story shows that anything is possible with unbeaten resilience.
In this episode of Chew the Fat, Rae shares how cerebral palsy shaped her mindset from childhood, why she networked her way into every opportunity she’s had since age 15, and what happened when Javelin, the sport she trained her whole life for, was removed from the Paralympics just before Tokyo.
