Daniele Cassioli: interview
with the water-skiing champion

Daniele Cassioli has transformed his blindness into a driving force to inspire others, using sports as a tool for growth and redemption. Thanks to his family's unwavering support, which always normalized his disability, he discovered a space of freedom and opportunity in water skiing. He has won 28 world titles and exceeded not only his own limits but also the expectations of others.

An injury led him to explore a new path: training and storytelling. Through school visits and public engagements, Daniele began sharing his story, realizing its transformative power. This journey inspired him to found Real Eyes Sport, an association promoting sports for children with visual impairments, teaching them to overcome barriers confidently and firmly.

The author of two books published by DeAgostini, Daniele, addresses themes such as resilience and inclusion, emphasizing the value of failure as an opportunity for growth. Today, he collaborates with companies and institutions, including the Campus Bio-Medico of Rome, to promote sports as a tool for social transformation. He firmly believes that inclusion stems from cultural change and the courage to confront limits with creativity and strength of spirit.
