Never underestimate a blind footballer | Azeem Amir | TEDxBrighton

Azeem Amir is 19 and has been visually impaired since birth. However, he has never let it be a barrier to success. Azeem plays Blind Football professionally and is working towards qualifying for the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics.
In 2016, Azeem became the youngest blind person to complete Tough Mudder; a grueling 12-mile obstacle course, featuring muddy ditches, huge walls and electric fences! Since running Tough Mudder, Azeem has risen to fame as a highly respected advocate for disability rights. He is now an ambassador for several disability organizations and through talks, coaching and workshops aims to inspire as many young people as possible to achieve their own version of success.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Azeem - such an honour to have stood on the same stage as you that day. I've just watched this again and I truly hope that the right people see this. The people who just take everything for granted. When they hear your talk they may just realise what a true inspiration you are. I'm going to be watching you at the 2020 Paralympics and cheering you on :) xx
