Gérald Métroz.

Gérald Métroz was born in Martigny (Switzerland) in 1962. At the age of two, he lost both his legs following a train accident.

Doing what you love takes less energy than it gives you.

And even before knowing the definition of resilience, he made sure to lead his life as he saw fit. Relying on his loved ones, he would succeed professionally and socially, even participating in the Atlanta Paralympic Games in 1996. His career path is varied; he has, among other things, been a sports journalist, club president, coach, author of books on international hockey, and president-founder of a sports consulting company.

Today, he travels the world to share his experience through conferences and the presentation of his various films and documentaries.Valais Orientation Cycles
