Talk from Thomas Young

Instead of the usual Tuesday Physio group on 22nd September, join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking talk from Thomas Young, a Paralympian who will share his personal journey through elite sport, revealing the challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned while competing at the highest level. Living and training with a neurological condition, he will offer a unique insight into the physical, mental, and emotional demands of Paralympic sport.

This engaging session will also explore the complexities of training alongside athletes with a wide range of neurological conditions, highlighting the importance of understanding, adaptability, teamwork, and inclusion. Through powerful stories from his sporting career, he will demonstrate how determination, perseverance, and a positive mindset can help overcome barriers and redefine what is possible.

Whether you are an athlete, coach, healthcare professional, or simply looking for inspiration, this is a rare opportunity to hear first-hand how resilience, diversity, and human potential come together in the Paralympic arena.
