This episode on the Women Who Sport podcast, we are joined by the magnificent Amy Conroy!
Amy is a GB wheelchair basketballer and 2x Paralympian who got into the sport after losing her leg to cancer age 13. Since making her debut for GB as a teenager in 2010 she has co-captained the U25 team to gold at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing and has been a core player on the senior team throughout all major championships. After a 7th place at London 2012 and a 4th place finish in Rio 2016, Amy has her sights set on gold for Tokyo 2021.
She has an incredibly inspiring outlook on life and talks to us about overcoming the barriers that are holding you back in order to achieve greatness. Amy is determined, passionate, funny and inspiring.
