The Victor Within Book – Hard Copy

“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.

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.
