# Triumph over adversity

All time
'I know in the back of my mind I was good enough, and I am good enough'
'I'd try to brush my hair and burst into tears because I couldn’t do anything'
'We've lost our home and they've lost their homes... but it's a terror what 12 months does'
'I wasn't fit to lift a pen... I take four tablets in the morning and six in the evening now'
'When I was on the trolley in Vincent's, I definitely didn't think I'd play again'
'I wanted to give up. I made the phone call - 'I can’t do it' - but they all rallied around me'
'I hit a low point. It’s mad looking back, I still find it hard to believe I have an All-Star'
'I've been watching from the sidelines for the past two years, wishing I was out there'
'I'm a 27-year-old Olympian funded by my parents, riding a moped to training like a teenager'
