It's time for the Paralympics and we're feeling inspired

The Paralympics games in Paris sees a whole host of incredible athletes performing in their chosen disciplines, from well-known events athletics and swimming to the lesser seen boccia and goalball, there are events for all spectators. 

One of the Cycling Athletes Kadeena Cox (MBE) will be going into the games as one of Team GB top medal prospects, in an interview with Charlotte Rush in Ash magazine she spoke about how the task of prepping for the Paralympics is an enormous task, but by breaking it down into smaller goals to achieve allows her to keep on track.

As a two time Gold medal winner in Rio and Tokyo there is a huge pressure that Kadenna will podium in Paris, with the added expectation that podium finish will be a gold. Speaking on handling that pressure Kadenna said:

‘I take strength from the team I have around me and my faith. I have a great support network. When things don’t go well, we evaluate and adapt. And of course, I know God has always got things in hand. Even if things don’t go the way I want them to right now, they will happen eventually, just as they’re meant to.’ 

Sage advice from the two time Paralympic velodrome champion, maybe this is the secret to her success being relaxed about the outcomes, surrounding herself with the right people and trusting God. Is there something that we all could learn from this?
