Athlete Comments & Reviews
“Learning a new sport is exciting!”
“There are people that say: why you keep doing that, why are you doing that at your age? Well, because we still can and it is never too late to start and learn new things. It’s exciting!”
“Sport keeps your mind active”
“Sport keeps you fit, keeps your mind active, all those sort of things. It gives you something to work towards, so I’ll do it as long as I possibly can really.”
“These Games are for everyone!”
“There’s a lot of positives to play these tournaments and as I said before it’s more about participation, it’s about the vibe, just enjoying playing sport, regardless of the standard. There is something there for everyone. Everyone can join in.”
