This week we caught up with Meme Robertson!
What club do you play for or coach?
I play for RNC and GB Women.
How did you discover goalball?
I was already playing cricket for Lancashire Lions when they became a multi-sport club. One of the new sports they introduced was goalball so I started playing. My first tournament was in March 2016.
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?
We have a goalball playlist that we always play at competitions.
Do you have any pre-game superstitions or rituals?
Not really although I always check my bag twice before heading to the competition after once forgetting to bring tracksuit bottoms!
Do you have a favourite post-match meal?
I always love coming back from competitions and having one of my dad’s roast dinners.
Which goalball player do you admire the most and why?
Antonia Bunyan, a team mate at RNC and also for GB, because she can always be counted on when on court.
Outside of goalball, what other hobbies/sports do you do?
I play partially sighted football and blind football and support Manchester United. I also play drums, guitar, bass and piano. I have a YouTube channel called MemePlayzDrums where I perform drum covers to songs.
Finally, what place, anywhere in the world, is on your bucket list to visit and why?
America as I want to do all the theme parks.
