Special Olympics GB National Games Sheffield

I have just come back from the Special Olympics GB National Games in Sheffield. I had a great time and was proud to be representing the East Midlands in tennis. In the singles, I had some very close games and came 4th. In the doubles, my partner and I were ranked in the top group and rose to the challenge to win a bronze medal. I would like to thank the Joe Humphries Memorial Trust for the grant that they gave me for my coaching, which really helped me prepare well for the Special Olympics GB National Games in Sheffield. I am now training for the Southern Region Competition in London and the Tennis Foundation National Learning Disability Championships at Nottingham in October.
