Inspirational Speaker: Dylan Alcott OAM - My biggest fear | ICMI

Dylan Alcott OAM, is one of Australia's most successful and well-recognised Paralympians, who at the Rio Paralympics Games became one of only a few athletes to win two gold medals in two different sports across two different games. At the age of 17, Dylan became the youngest ever wheelchair basketball gold medallist at the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing and after gold at the 2010 world championship, and silver at the London Paralympics, he decided to switch sports to wheelchair tennis, where he went on to win gold medals in both the wheelchair tennis singles and doubles at the 2016 Rio Paralympics. Born with a tumour wrapped around his spinal cord Dylan survived a three-year battle to live and has been achieving ever since. He is honoured to have received an OAM in 2009 at the age of 18 and is currently an ambassador for Variety and The Starlight Foundation. Dylan is an outstanding Motivational Speaker who has rapped on stage with the Wu-Tang Clan, which went viral and has also set a trend for wheelchair crowd-surfing at Australia’s biggest music festivals. Dylan was recently crowned 2016 GQ Sportsman of the Year and is the winner of the 2016 Newcombe Medal (the first wheelchair athlete to win the highest individual award in Australian tennis history).
