The year of Sports

This year in the UK  and NI  is quickly becoming the year of sport, as the olympic and paralympics will be held in London this summer. I know a lot of people think there is not a lot of sport out there for disability people, actually they are wrong. Sport for disabled people, may not be as popular as it is for abled bodied people. It is starting to become a lot more known by people across the world.

I myself actually play a lot of wheelchair basketball for my local, due to medical reasons and school I had to take sometime off. It has now been three years, since I last played a proper game of basketball. Just recently i have got back into thinking about starting to train and play again. I know that it will take a lot of work to get my fitness back to where it was. I'm looking forward to building myself up again and playing, even if I never make it playing for any big teams, its always a sport I will enjoy playing.

So this year if you decided to watch the olympics please take the time to watch some of the paralympics later on in the summer. It may not be for everyone, at least if you take the time to at least watch 5 minutes. You may gain a little more knowledge in helping any disabled person you know get involved in sports.

Here is a little clip of me in action, hope you all enjoy it.
