How para sport offered Derek Loccident a new career path, one he has jumped at
Derrick Loccident is the kind of talent any coach would love to work with. Since entering para sport he's excelled in the long jump and the high jump, and also shown he's a world class sprinter. He's also a pretty good javelin thrower. American football gridiron was where he first excelled, catching the eye in the US collegiate system. But when an accident left him as a below the knee Amputee, he found a brand new stage. He’s now a multiple World Championship and Paris Paralympic medalist.
