Abstract

Abstract: In the search for an understanding of the meaning of Paralympic judo and the impact of this modality on the athlete's life, a case study of a qualitative nature was developed with the participation of a Paralympic athlete of the Brazilian judo team, who obtained important results in the international scenario. The Oral History of Life Approach based the interview, emphasized the phenomenon of the athlete's life and privileged a contextualized view of the situation and the interaction processes of this athlete with a description of events of his life before and during the sporting trajectory, and the expression of their struggle and strategies to overcome adversities. It was also possible to know the sporting trajectory, the process of acceptance of the disability and the adherence to the adapted sport. The sport meant the possibility of exercising its autonomy and, at the same time, playing its social role and represented the space to show its competence and obtain social recognition, from the good performance obtained and the victories. Thus, it can be concluded that the occurrence of a certain phenomenon (in this case blindness) was at the same time a product and a producer of the evolutionary change of the athlete.
