Lecture Series - Women with Disabilities in Rock Climbing

Jasmin Plank
Elite athlete, member of the Austrian national paraclimbing team
“You have to try the impossible to achieve the possible.” Guided by this motto, I’ll share my very personal story—honest, humorous, and full of surprising twists. I’ll take you along on my journey: from living with a chronic illness to losing my job and finally to an unexpected opportunity in competitive sports. You’ll learn why I’m so glad I didn’t always listen to doctors, and what’s actually possible even when it’s officially supposed to be impossible. With a dash of self-deprecating humor and the courage to be open, I’ll show why I walk even though I’m not actually supposed to, and how setbacks can be turned into opportunities. A talk that inspires, provokes thought—and shows that “impossible” is sometimes just a word.
