13. The only thing is....
...he never used the chair and played basketball at the same time.

Before he lost his legs, he was good at basketball, and that's one of the things that makes him depressed about being in a wheelchair.

14. He should try to see if there is a team in your area.
It is a lot of fun, and great exercise and also a good networking tool for people in chairs.
