Each Thursday we want to put the spotlight on a person involved with goalball – from players, officials, coaches, or anyone.
This week we caught up with Marcus Bu-Rashid!
What club do you play for or coach?
I play for Winchester Goalball Club.
How did you discover goalball?
When I was 8, I went on an Actionnaires trip to Winchester Goalball Club for a taster session.
Is there a particular song, artist, or genre that you listen to before a tournament to get in the mood? Or anything you’re loving at the moment?
I usually listen to my playlist, which has a wide mix of genres, but anything upbeat gets me in the mood.
Do you have any pre-game superstitions or rituals?
We always shout ‘WINCHESTER!!!’ as loud as we can before a game.
Do you have a favourite post-match meal?
Anything my dad cooks always does the trick, or a KFC.
Which goalball player do you admire the most and why?
I admire players who have helped me to develop as a player myself, such as Rosie and Scott Murphy, Adam Knott, and Dave Scott.
Outside of goalball, what other hobbies/sports do you do?
I like to watch football a lot and play video games.
Finally, what place, anywhere in the world, is on your bucket list to visit and why?
Himalayas because I like mountains.
