Started: He took up wheelchair basketball at age 15. (bsn-ev.de, 01 Jan 2024)
Reason: He met a wheelchair basketball coach while out shopping with his father, and the coach invited him to a trial training session in Cottbus, Germany. "They were looking for new people for the regional league. Since I had already tried wheelchair basketball in rehab and was thinking about maybe playing it regularly, I said yes. I never actually planned to become a professional athlete, but you usually don't plan the best things that happen in life."
