And for me, what my head, what my mindset was for as long as I could ever known was to never give up. And I know that’s quite a “cheesy” line, but it’s true because no matter what anyone tells you, and no matter what anyone says, they’ll think everyone has the power to achieve what they want to. They just need to push as hard as they can both physically and emotionally, and then they can achieve. They really just need to not care what anyone says. And so, yeah, I guess for me, somebody with my love and my passion, so it doesn’t matter what anyone told me, I was just going to do it.

It’s being out on the field, out in the slopes in the competition where I’ve learned the most valuable lessons and they have actually set me up to live by my values. And that’s what I try and do every single day. I won my first World Cup I medal at Paralympic games I won my first World Championships. And it’s taken, it is taken a lot of time, but it’s that mindset which that has brought me to where I am today and that is brought to the love and learning the valuable lessons with sport. And it may be the confident person that I’m today. And so that has not only helped me in my sport, but also it allowed me to be confident, a confident person with a disability in the real world as well.”

[The screen transitions. Ben’s name remains on the left, and text appears, “What grassroots sports clubs can do to ensure they are inclusive for everyone…” Ben discusses the importance of incorporating disability programs into sports clubs for inclusivity.] 

Ben Tudhope: “I think in this day and age in the modern society we are living in, having a disability program, a part of any sports club is a necessity because that brings a visible aspect of paralympic sport, which not only helps kids with disabilities get easier access to sport, but it also opens up able-bodied children’s eyes to access to view disabled sport from a very early age. So they viewed it as normal. And I’m not saying that these programs should be segregated. They should train together, they should do everything together, but have that disability component or program within. So it’s not challenging for both the parents and the child of, of a five-year-old child to get into that sport, get to get into that soccer club.”
