Athlete Comments & Reviews
“Go and do it, choose to live!”
“I want to choose to live my life, you only get one chance so why ywaste it, why waste your life thinking I wish I’d done something. Do it, get up, get out of your chair, Go and do it!”
“You get motivated to start again!”
“Seeing other people playing it’s kind of inspiring to think about taking other things up again.”
“Sport helps mentally and physically”
“Sport is so important, because it keeps you sharp. I don’t just mean physically but mentally as well. Everybody gets stressed by different things in their life and just being able to get out there and exercise, getting rid of a little bit of that tension can help you mentally as well physically.”
