My name is Hector Torres. I am the Head Coach with Tri Peak Athlete and the Central Florida Tri Club. Since 2018, I have been working with Intellectual Disable Athletes on developing them into the Triathlon sport within Florida. Since we have began, it has grown tremendously! The program started with four athletes and now we have 16 athletes. Our goal is to have at least 40 athletes on the starting line on the USA Games in 2022 held here in Orlando, FL. From these games, we will select the team that will represent us at the 2023 games in Berlin, Germany!
Chris Nikic, was one of the first group. One of his greatest accomplishments was completing Ironman Florida. #anythingispossible
With small steps we are changing the world and allowing the athletes with Intellectual Disabilities to be included in every sport! #inclusion
