I invited Lee in to talk to a group of year 11 PSHE students. They were looking forward to meeting a 'real life paralympian' and were not disappointed. Lee was motivational, inspiring and created a definite sense of 'live for the moment and roll with the punches to do your best' in both students and staff.
A great session and I will be asking Lee back to work with younger students at our school -
Hi Lee,
I just wanted to say thank you for a great afternoon on 12th July. The children and staff found your talk very inspirational and moving. The children were very interested in everything you had to say and they enjoyed having the opportunity to ask you their own questions. The children learnt a lot from the experience and it was certainly a very memorable afternoon.
Many thanks,
Linda Owens

Lee recently visited our school as on our Olympic day as part of the school 25th Birthday celebrations. He delivered assemblies for our pupils about his life and sporting career. These assemblies were both extremely inspirational and motivational. As he engaged the children brilliantly as he spoke about his sporting life from football to coaching and how he experienced the ultimate challenge and honour for any athlete by representing his country in two sports at the Paralympic Games. Lee then visited pupils around school and answered questions. His manner and sense of humour was excellent as he spoke and entertained the pupils.
Lee then delivered afternoon sessions in wheelchair basketball to a group of our pupils. This coaching session was exceptionally good as he shared his knowledge with the pupils. We ended the day with an awards ceremony and Lee gave a final speech after handing out the winning athletes their medals.
Lee is excellent speaker and knows how to engage his audience and is defiantly a top class coach. He comes highly recommended by all staff and pupils at Abbey Hill School in Stockton. -
Lee recently visited our school at Coulby Newham. A fun-filled, fantastic day was had by all. Both the children and staff thoroughly enjoyed participating in the wheelchair basketball (some staff had to be forcibly removed!)and the presentation was enlightening and inspiring. I cannot recommend Lee highly enough! Huge thanks and please come back soon.

Lee came to our call centre at EDF Energy in Sunderland we set up a small area in reception where people had a go of the wheelchairs & basket balls & got a few pointers from Lee - it was really difficult but great fun. Lee also chatted to many employees & some kids from a local school who came to visit, everyone had a great time & we all learned something new. We also raised over £1000 for Paralympics GB. Thanks again for yur visit

Lee came into Prince Bishop School to kick-off the P.E. departments paralympic week. He did a superb whole school assembly and you could have heard a pin drop! Both staff and pupils were raving about how exceptional he was as a motivational speaker.
He then followed this up with two consecutive afternoons of wheelchair basketball coaching. The kids loved it so much, they want me to buy some sports wheelchairs to get it onto the P.E curriculum. Thanks very much for coming and working with our school Lee! We hope to work with you again in the near future. All the best!! -
Great inspirational talk with our students today. They continued it in the Maths lesson! Thanks again from the Year 8/9 group.

Lee came to talk to his about his Paralympic experiences, his life in a wheel chair following his accident and to help us understand the game of wheelchair basketball, the latter we had watched on a video before hand. Lee's visit was a great experience for the children and very inspiring for the teachers.

I have know Lee for a number of years now both as a fellow team mate on the Eagles Wheelchair Basketball team and also through my role as manager at Percy Hedley Sports Academy where Lee coaches.
What 'Titch' lacks in size he more than makes up for with his enthusiasm and personality!
A great coach, a great inspiration and a great friend! A truly remarkable coach and person. -
