James:
When I'm playing table tennis, I do get lost in the moment. You're really focused, obviously, on the rally. It's quite a good feeling.
I've got quite a close-knit family, so I love spending time with my mum and dad, with my girlfriend, who obviously lives with us as well. We are dog lovers, our family, they're a very integral part of our life. We go for walks together. We get to say hello to a lot of the locals. Having that sense of community brings out a lot of good feelings, particularly in a time coming out of COVID.
During COVID, like, there was a lot of times thinking about my disability and having that turmoil. That was probably the toughest thing that I felt. Getting vaccinated was important to me because I can now go out in public and feel safe and live out my daily life with confidence. Being able to spend my days with those around me that I care about, that's the main thing, brings me a lot of joy for the future.
