Fabian Romo’s success speaks for itself.

That success and five years with the Movin’ Mavs ultimately led him to becoming a professional athlete.

With the Movin’ Mavs, Romo earned All-American honors, helped the team to a national championship in 2017 and was called up to Team USA for multiple international tournaments. Once his time at UTA was up, Romo decided to take the next step in his wheelchair basketball career.

In June, Romo signed a contract offered by Iberconsa Amfiv in Spain.

Although he signed on months ago, Romo hasn’t been able to physically join the club in Spain because of the coronavirus pandemic.
