BUSY BUSY BUSY!

Morning!

Its a new week, time to crack on! Since my knee "issues" were classified perminant and I'm starting to accept it, things have been happening fast!

It goes back to my philosophy, EVERYONE has a talent. In what, I don't know, but its there somewhere! Most people don't spend enough time truely searching for it and if they do they don't fully develop or commit to it. Thats one of my pet hates...
WASTED TALENT! I see it every day & it stands out like a sore thumb to me as I know what to look for & have seen that top people in whatever field they choose are not superhuman, they just have belief, determination and have found their talent!

Whats yours???


Anyway, enough of my early rant, back to what I started to talk about, Busy, Busy, Busy.
Called in by my physio mate Stuart to work with the Surrey Development Squad for X-Country from 10am today. Why the SpeedFreak for X-contry you may ask? Because Speed is esential for ALL sports! Find me a X-Country runner with NO SPEED and you'll find a runner who gets all his/her hard work undone in the last few minutes of the race as everyone FLIES BY!!!
Not a fun experience (School X-Counrty team me '94, WooHoo).

Then onto 1st GB Volleyball (weekly session) in Central London, never a fun place to travel to around rush hour, great. But if this journey was easy, I wouldn't be interested and everyone would be doing it, not the point of elite level sport!
If I every make it to my destination tonight, it will not be wasted & I'll SMASH it as hard as I can and see what happens... wish me luck & I'll see you on the other side ;)


Whatever your doing, keep moving forward!

Let me know how your doing??
Leave your comments as I am genuinely interested..

GET FAST WIN MORE.

PARALYMPIC POTENTIAL DAY (GB)

Here is the day at Brunel University, acually welled up a bit 1st time I saw this. Don't know why? Guess I'm still in denial....

I'll accept it eventually.

It was a quality day.
2012 is not a crazy idea anymore!!!

PARALYMPICS 2012!


MORNING!

If you've been following my adventures in rehab over the last 14 months you'l know my knee is mullered!

Anyway I love basketball, so decided to finallly bite the bullet and contact England Wheelchair basketball about my situation. Next thing I know I'm invited along to the Paralympic potential day @ Brunel to try out for all sports I qualify for!!?

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I had to go to each individual sport on the day & they assessed if my condition was deemed bad enough for their sport.

THIS WAS DEFINATELY A WIN WIN SITUATION AS IF I QUALIFY, COOL.
IF NOT, EVEN BETTER AS IT MEANS I'M NOT DISABLED ENOUGH, ALSO COOL!

I'll let you know how it went, soon.
