Lloyd Bachrach, Paraolympian / Motivational Speaker was born with a congenital bone deficiency which left his legs unusually short which made mobility difficult. 
“Growing up I was not sure what I wanted to do, then got involved at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, where I eventually traded commodity futures.  That was not as successful as I had hoped, and then had the opportunity to become a gymnastics instructor for the Chicago Park District.  While I was there coaching, I was asked on a few occasions to "tell my story" of overcoming a major congenital physical disability."
In turn lead me to creating "Yes, You Can! Motivational Programs.  YYC was incorporated in 1995 and was my lifetime endeavor.”Having developed his physical skills at an early age via his interest in swimming, baseball, and bowling, Lloyd later became accomplished in the sport of gymnastics, competing against able body gymnasts.  He won a staggering 25 gold, 27 silver, and 20 bronze medals in various gymnastics competitions and intercollegiate meets. 
In 1996 Lloyd fulfilled a lifelong dream becoming a USA Paralympian in the sport of sitting volleyball at the Atlanta games. 
A Chicago area native, Lloyd attended Thornridge High School and Northern Illinois University.  He married Julia Sniderman in the fall of 1996.  They now have two adultdaughters Marissa who is in Public Relations, and Paili, a Social Worker.In turn lead me to creating "Yes, You Can! Motivational Programs.  YYC was incorporated in 1995 and was my lifetime endeavor.”
