Why do you like wheelchair basketball? And why did you start playing the sport?
Wheelchair basketball has been my life since I picked up a ball at the age of 12, it’s the most intense, physical, and technical disability sport in my opinion. It has taught me many things from self discipline, team work, and dedication.
Why did you decide to join Cheshire Phoenix Wheelchair basketball club/ Angels?
It is my local club from back home, it is also a descendent of the first club I ever played for, and the coach is my first ever coach. I want to help people with disabilities from my local area aspire for greater things
