Athlete Comments & Reviews

“You get motivated to start again!”

“Seeing other people playing it’s kind of inspiring to think about taking other things up again.”

“I meet great people playing sport!”

Sport’s everything, I need it for my wellbeing, it helps me push myself, it keeps me fit and you meet great people as well.

“I’m positive about life again!”

I’m really proud of myself I was able to get myself back into a place in sport where I was, and be positive about life again. At the age of 62 right now, I’m so blessed. Beyond, I mean, I get emotional.
