This initiative has grown into a significant movement promoting adaptive sports.

At the 2019 World Para Athletics Junior Championships, Frech won gold in the high jump (T63) and bronze medals in both the long jump (T63) and the 100-meter sprint (T63).
Despite the physical challenges Frech faced, he engaged in various sports including basketball, soccer, baseball and karate before focusing on track and field events. His first exposure came at the age of eight when his father took him to an adaptive track meet.
