Spotlight On… Goalball
It’s a Paralympic summer, but don’t just watch the sports, try them!
Parasport’s Spotlight On… series offers a quick glimpse into the world of a Paralympic sport – the thoughts, feelings, emotions and behind the scenes details that may be hidden to the outside world.
In the next part of the series, we spoke to Kelsey Trevett, who used to make long journeys from Watford to Winchester to begin a goalball journey which went on to lead him to the Royal National College Goalball team.
