Disability did not stop Wahyu Tri Wibowo's desire to complete a master's degree at the UNY Sports Coaching Education Study Program. Wahyu's willingness to graduate with his Masters in Sports Coaching Education at FIK UNY cannot be separated from his experience when he was a Deaflympics athlete in badminton. Wahyu has participated in the Deaflympics in Taiwan 2009 in Taiwan and managed to win third place and 2017 in Turkey, but has not won it.
