"Let Me Help You Overshoot Your Goals in the Right Ways."
International Motivational Speaker - Victor Vermeulen
What I Do
I Speak.
“I felt as if my mind was being held prisoner in an immobile shell and I’d become frozen inside my skin. I couldn’t do much, but I had made my choice. I wasn’t going to just give up and die.
I Write.
I decided that my life was worth living and I was going to make the most of it; one breath at a time and one day at a time. I’ve never been a person who gives up. I decided to fight!”

His Story
At nineteen, Victor Vermeulen was a multi-talented athlete and scholar with an exceptionally bright future as a world-class cricketer. Then he broke his neck in a tragic accident. Instead of dwelling on what might have been, he assessed the positive side of his situation and with the unwavering support of his mother, Isabella, has now established himself as one of South Africa’s most inspirational and sought-after motivational speakers. This is his story – one of optimism, tenacity and sheer determination.

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 server as a lesson to us all
Nelson Mandela
Most of us go through life spending very little time, if any, contemplating how we and our loved ones would be affected by a catastrophic illness or injury.
Or, if we do think about having to face MS, Parkinsons, diabetes, a stroke or a spinal cord injury we imagine (or at least I did), that our one life on this planet would have been ruined, not only because of the loss of normal activity but our perceived inability to endure.
Victors book and the compelling mission statement for his life proves otherwise. He shows us that we have two choices in the face of adversity: to give in to loss, or to reach new heights by discovering the power within. Victor has made the courageous choice and has much to teach us.
