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.”

“Inspiration everywhere to just get up and do it!”

“You watch the Olympics and people are in awe of performance. You watch an event like this, you know the 40, 50, 60 year old age group, hopefully it inspires people to get out of the arm chair and say: ‘Actually, I could do that!”

“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.”
