I've just got back from the biggest and best Paralympics GB camp yet! 14 summer sports, Alpine Skiing and the Talent Transition Programme attended a 5 day camp (like a mini, pre-games holding camp) over the bank holiday.
Whilst most other Brits enjoyed some much needed sunshine, budding and experienced Paralympians alike demonstrated commitment, working with professionals on improving our game. Physiological testing, one to one sport specific training, as well as therapy, sports psychology, media training and inter-sport discussions in a Games environment meant a busy and exhausting few days for all.
Ken Hames, the military man who questioned preconceptions of disability through the Beyond Boundaries documentary, gave an inspiring talk highlighting parallels with the dedication, focus and skill needed for peak performance at the Paralympics. Two years to go and we are on track!
Thanks Paralympics GB on behalf of the alpine skiers, we appreciate your support!
