Paralympic review
Well, it’s over.
I had a great day at the Paralympics last Thursday watching 3 of our athletes competing in the Blind Football playoffs.
Dan James, Robin Williams and Keryn Seal were part of the GB team that tied their match against China at full time 1-1.
This led to a penalty shoot out which GB lost. The boys then played in the 7/8th playoff against Turkey on Saturday where they won 2-0.
No amount of training can guarantee a victory.
The boys were in a reflective mood that afternoon when we caught up. 
They have all improved immensely over the last year, but so has everyone else.
Time for a much needed break for them, then we shall we resume in two weeks time.
Well done too to Judith Hamer who was part of the GB wheelchair basketball team that also came 7th.

Josh Steels: wheelchair tennis
I started working with James 3 years ago via the TASS programme. When James first met me, physically I was nowhere the best I could be. Since working with James I have seen vast improvements in my fitness and strength which has been put into great use on court. Each session is worked around making sure I am able to get the best quality training as well as catering for my chronic pain and fatigue levels. On top of this James has always been happy to meet at facilities that are best for myself meaning I could fit training sessions in on route to tournaments or camps.
