71. James Roberts CBE. When learning to live with a disability that has been acquired one’s mental attitude can be key to transitioning positively and moving forward.

In this week’s episode of Talking in the Dark Evie speaks with gold medal winning wheelchair rugby player James Roberts MBE 

During this highly stimulating interview Evie learns all about James’ life growing up able-bodied and then becaming ill as a teenager and subsequently acquired a disability.

James shares about his experience and describes the approach and resolve that helped him through two very challenging years in hospital and then allowed him to secure a place on to the wheelchair rugby team that achieved a gold medal for Great Britain at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020.   

This was a powerful discussion and we thank James for his time and participation.
