David Hall: Desire, Determination, and Pursuing Dreams

At age 16, David Hall was in accident that caused him to lose his legs. After picking himself back up, both physically and mentally, he went on to become a hugely successful wheelchair tennis player, capturing over 80 titles, six Paralympic medals, and the ultimate honor in tennis - induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

In this episode, David goes deep with host Chris Bowers, talking about the never quit mindset that drove him as an athlete. He talks about the life-changing decision to leave a steady career and pursue his passion, wheelchair tennis, and the success that came because of his drive. Like so many of us, David is driven by music, and he talks about his affinity for heavy medal and a related, unique donation to the ITHF's museum collection.

David Hall is one of Australia's greatest Paralympic athletes, having won over 80 career titles including seven Australian Opens and eight US Opens. A native of Sydney, he captured Paralympic singles gold at the Paralympic Games in his hometown in 2000.
