Mike interviewed @thomasyoungt38, a current Loughborough student and sports scholar, and fellow Paralympian @AdeneganK. They discussed balancing elite sport with studies and other commitments.
Netballer @amaagbeze speaks about her experiences:
🗣 “Growing up I would smile, grin, & be chilled. People took that as I was a fool - that wasn’t the case.
“When I did my GCSEs people were like ‘she’s actually really bright’ - I wasn’t just the person in the corner smiling.”
Today’s the day!
@lborobiss is now underway on campus, bringing together inspirational black athletes and professionals to share knowledge and expertise.
@SkySportsNews’ Mike Wedderburn introduces proceedings.
