Marina Drašković, a dedicated advocate for inclusive sports, founded the Fuji Judo Club for children with disabilities in Velika Gorica five years ago. At 31, she has created an environment where children with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, motor impairments, and autism spectrum disorders can develop both physically and psychologically at their own pace.
Currently, 35 children are thriving under Marina’s guidance at the club, which emphasizes individual progress and personal growth.
Marina’s exceptional contributions to sports and inclusivity were recognized with the prestigious ISCA Role Model Award, celebrating her as a true role model in improving the health and lives of people from various disadvantaged groups. Her work with Fuji Judo Club stands as a testament to her commitment to enhancing the lives of children with disabilities through sports.
