Victor Vermeulen had it all! From a very early age,
he'd excelled at both academics and sports and
boasted an expansive list of bursaries and awards.
He could have represented his country at any number
of sports but his first love was always cricket. At
19 he'd already played with a young South African
team at Lords the famous English test ground and was
settling into a career with Transvaal. It was really
just a matter of time, it was felt, before he would
be given the opportunity to go in and bat for South
Africa.
Then, a freak accident left him paralysed from the
neck down with little apparently to look forward to,
only memories of a dazzling past and thoughts of
what might have been!
Victor however, as his name implies, is made of
sterner stuff! He didn't dwell on the past, but
looked at the positive aspects of his situation and
with the support and encouragement of his mother,
Isabel, set off down a new path as a motivational
speaker. |

"This remarkable young South African's achievements
against so many odds, have made us appreciate how
much we can accomplish, no matter what stands in our
path. His spirit, enthusiasm and courage serve as a
lesson to us all." Mr Nelson Mandela
His extraordinary story of courage, optimism and
sheer determination is told in his best-selling book
'The Victor Within' (Tenacity Publications)
which has the following forewords by Nelson Mandela
(mentioned above) and the late Christopher Reeve. |

inspiration to us all."

would it suit him – his power is in his truth and
authenticity.”

Committee.
"The entire audience was moved and each took away
something different - many said it was the most
impactful presentation they had ever heard."
