Our team members

My name is Anna Zita Bíró and I am 31 years old. I love challenges. The most important things to me in sports are community, teamwork and a healthy amount of competition within our limit, as these always motivate me. I take/took every opportunity to make connections. As a child, I have spent 2 years on learning folk dance at school. Later in college, I got second place in a running competition, organized by the college’s “Fut a RIDENS” programme. I am also a proud member of a zumba group, which I joined 3 years ago. I was glad for the opportunity to join the Határtalan Erő Sports Club as a member, because it helps with maintaining both my physical and mental health and it keeps me in shape too. The first Boccia competition ended up being a success for me: I got second place. These things bring me joy and further inspiration. In the future, I would be glad to participate in dance lessons, if the opportunity arises.

My name is Zsuzsi Cserényi, I live with my mom and my siblings in Budapest. I am 32 years old. I was born with oxygen deficiency, which resulted in me becoming disabled, and it also caused balance problems for me. In primary school I went horse riding and swimming regularly, but after I finished school, those oppotunities have disappeared. The reason why I want to join this sports club, because I consider regular exercise as important and I get more motivation from being in a team. It is good to work together for a common cause. I can be with my friends and I get to know new people as well. The club also makes it possible for me to try and learn about new sports that I have never tried doing before.

My name is Mónika Domán, I was born in Budapest. I loved playing sports ever since my childhood. I played tennis, soccer and I was swimming competitively as a young adult. I also tried blind ping pong and played rattle ball as a hobby. For me, exercise is not only a source of pleasure, but it also provides relaxation and helps me recharge my batteries. I would like to actively participate in those activities again- like swimming, playing soccer and dancing too, if there is a chance for it. I love being a part of a community and exercising with others, so I hope that I will get lots of opportunities for these at the Határtalan Erő Sports Club.

My name is Gabi Illés and I always loved sports- although, I only watched them with enthusiasm at first. Ever since I started practising Boccia, I got to experience what real sportsmanship feels like, despite being in a wheelchair. I like that Boccia brings everyone together, because everyone can spend some quality time together in a welcoming atmosphere. I hope that I can improve my skills in the future and develop more strategies to lead me to victory.

My name is Nikoletta Kovács and I am 34. Back in primary school, I was a member of the Parafitt Sports Club’s swimming team, We went to a lot of competitions, I have very pleasant memories of those- I managed to win many medals in my youth. These events make me happy to this day. I tried out karate at the age of 17 and even though I only trained for 2 month, it was still a good experience for me. Sports has always been an important part of my life- exercise, experiences, memories, progress.

My name is Zoli Pál and sports have always been a part of my life.
Whether I am there as a spectator or actively participating in an event, HETSE is a great, well-composed team and they are eager to achieve success. Maybe I can help them out. Go HETSE!

My name is Laci Palay. For me, sports provide experiences, happiness and company. It is a great feeling when we can celebrate our successes together, while having a great time during practice or a competition. One of my reasons for joining is that I have read about doing regular exercise can not only improve physical health, but also your mental health as well. I consider both of these as important and I would like to improve myself further. I tried exercising at home before- mainly walking, as well as a few simple exercises (i.e. sit-ups and push-ups), but I barely held up on my own. However, at the sports club, there is a complete and well thought out training routine that I can follow- and this is way more motivating for me than trying it alone.

My name is Orsolya Szakács My name is Orsolya Szakács and I am 34. I have been doing sports since my childhood. At first, I did floor exercises and practised on the balance beam. I picked up tennis later and continuously participated in Special Olympics competitions, I enjoyed playing basketball and soccer on occasions and I even tried my hand at track and field events. After that, I gladly participated in boccia, bowling and movement experience competitions. I took a break for a while, but I am back to playing sports, representing the Határtalan Erő Sports Club. Go forth!

My name is Imre Tunyogi, I was born in 1986, so I am getting closer to my 40’s. I have tried playing many sports over the years- for example, soccer and basketball. Despite not earning any achievements in these, exercise has always brought me joy. In basketball, for example, I usually preferred to shoot hoops on my own and it became a form of relaxation and recharging for me.

In one way or another, sports has always returned into my life- whether it was a school competition, or other challenges. Based on these events, I have learned that participation and the whole experience is worth more than earning a medal. I have finally found my own sport: I have started running- just like other members did at the club.

I have started doing the whole thing alone at first, then I participated in different events: in Vivicitta, Ekiden relay race, 15 km marathons and Ultrabalaton as well. During Ultrabalaton, I was not only running, but also cycling and taking a bicycle carriage to complete different parts of it- I was not the most successful in the end, but I really gave my all during the race.

The reason why I joined this sports club is because I see it as a great opportunity for doing sports, and I am glad that I can be a part of this inspiring community.
