What a start we've had to the @BritWheelBBall Women's Premier League season!
@ArchersBasket put us under pressure early in the game with Jade Adkin in particular impressing, but it quickly turned into the Beth Wheeler show (31pts, 11ast, 10reb)🏀
Phoenix 76 - 55 Archers
After a tense start here at SportsDock, Beth Wheeler has inspired a lead going into half-time with the first 3-pointers of the season 🔥
Debee Steel is also leading from the front with 13pts and 4 rbs 💪
Phoenix 35 - 27 Archers
"What is your greatest fear?...not that you are inadequate... you are powerful beyond measure...when you let you own light shine, you unconsciously liberate others" #YouthSummit@YouthSportTrust@Sport_England@TNL "Young people are 1/3 of the population but all of our future."
Deeply thought provoking afternoon, listening to the young people, thinking about the challenges and then creating a pledge
Here's my pledge: ⬇️
If your the only 1 in the room your voice has to be louder, silence is not an option!

"Back to the grind this week. Five more weeks until finals, three games left of the season. Let's make it count!"
Strong words from our assistant head coach @ENABLED_change as we head into the final stages of the @BritWheelBBall Women's Premier League season...
Great to chat to @emmajonessport about the @EastLDNPhoenix Wheelchair Basketball team and our season so far, the amazing group of girls we have, the complicated relationship coaching your other half & the TALENT in this squad & what we're capable of.
Watch this space! #Phoenix
@topoathletic one very frustrated customer. Brought a pair for my birthday end of July, super happy best pair of shoes I've ever had until October where the seams on the heel completely split! No running, just walking, £140 - apparently nothing you can do. Interesting

Up bright and early for a school visit with @Athletes_IN_Sch today at
@RedOaksPrimary
Looking forward to meeting all the children and sharing our experiences as athletes that have shaped us as people.
@FilbertCobb@sharrond62@BritishCycling@thetimes@uk_sport@DailyMailUK@GOVUK Not sure if it would or if this would be negative for para sport which has fought hard to be recognised as a world class sporting event for athletes with disabilities - emphasising this last bit, as a para-athlete I don't see a place for trans athletes in Paralympic sport.
A contender for moment of the @BritWheelBBall Women's Premier League season?
An outrageous 3-pointer from Beth Wheeler against the clock to bring us within one point of @Lightningwbbl in the final!
@SteveKinghorn@KellySotherton@aalcock22@BBCSport Its para-sport... outside of the Paralympics no one cares. Literally. Speaking as an ex-international para athlete the disparity between able-bodied sport and para is HUGE, not taking away from Kelly's point on womens sport.
