Despite having cerebral palsy, this brave teenager masters the machines on the street workout playground

A person can achieve anything, only if he wants to and he only has to find the strength within himself. And that doesn't depend on anyone else but you, is the simple message of 14-year-old Mislav Ščuric from Croatia.

Mislav, like his peers, trains. And that, as he says, would be nothing special, if he didn't have cerebral palsy.

"Most children with this diagnosis don't even walk, they hardly talk. I was diagnosed with the disease when I was one year old," he explains.

His family was persistent from the beginning and they started with physical therapy, and Mislav was walking at the age of four.

"It is a very big success, because the doctors did not think that I would walk at all and that I would be independent," he says.

Mislav has been in love with sports since he was young and wanted to be a soccer player. But, this desire and the fact that he will not be able to fulfill it, threw him into depression and awakened self-pity.

Depression disappeared the moment he found motivation in street workout.

At the end of the seventh grade, during the summer, a friend and member of the Svetica workout team invited him to train, but Mislav initially refused, believing that he could not do it. In the end, he still accepted, explaining to himself "let's at least not be at home".

See the attachment 24 hours. hr in which Mislav mastered the exercises on the street workout machines, which for him, he says, have a psychophysical effect, and after which he got the will to do the exercises recommended by the physiotherapist, which before that he had no will to do.

This young man does not give up his desire to tie his career to football - at least as a sports journalist or physiotherapist.
