Alex reflects on a super fun week at #FindTheNext Goalball Academy camp!
It's crazy that 7 days have gone by since the end of our most recent #FindTheNext Goalball Academy camp!
We all had such a fun time coming back together at @TrentUni, after a busy couple of months for the team on and off the court😁#GoalballFamily🔵💙 @GoalballUK pic.twitter.com/kdpnQKaIzy

Who else feels the same way as Jordie about goalball?
We really have to put a sport like #goalball into perspective.
It legitimately rewires your brain. Especially for those who don’t already have some type of blindness or visual impairment. https://t.co/s2wnDVctJ8
