It was a few years later, in 2018 where I started playing wheelchair rugby and started being a member of this brilliant team and group of people. I was welcomed into an atmosphere where I felt I belonged. I have never met a group of people where I felt I fitted in so well. Everyone at the club was, and is welcoming, friendly, supportive yet push each other. The coaches strive to push us to our maximum potential, as well as us athletes having the same affect on each other.
Having been surrounded by those who feel in some ways superior to me nearly my whole life, be that in education or in previous sporting experiences, I genuinely feel like I am an equal to everyone at the team and I struggle to portray just how much being around this club and group of people has transformed my life. It has helped my mental health, physical health, social skills, self confidence and esteem, my communicational skills among so many other things. Being able to play under the brand of Saracens is also such an honor and I feel immensely lucky to play for this team. Thanks to this club, and this family of players, staff and others I feel so much happier with my life now than when I started.
