Georgie - Goalball

"Goalball is a huge part of my life - and my identity. I’ve registered as blind since I was five and growing up, I never felt sport was for people like me - but that all changed when I was talent spotted at 14 and fasttracked onto the GB Women’s Goalball team. Since then, my sporting career has taken me around the world and created some of my proudest moments, including competing in the London 2012 Paralympics. Goalball has taught me how to be part of a team, shown me I can be a leader, and helped me to accept my disability."
