[Music] i'm james fox i'm in the mixed paralympic cox 4 and the gibran team i've been wearing since i was a kid i started at the age of 11. started the peterborough rowing club and got taught by bob bridges and james robinson um and i absolutely loved it kicking around trying to go fast racing you racing your friends got my first gb cap at the age of 16 went to gb france i went to coup de la jones and i was hoping to be on the olympic pathway things didn't quite turn out that way i had a car crash in 2010 after a few months of being at university i fractured two bones in my spine and it was a pretty dark time for me i really really enjoyed wearing working my way back from that was a real challenge for me but a real character builder and it was while i was there that i found out that i have fused ankles which is i guess known as an invisible disability so invisible that i didn't realize for 21 years of my life miraculous my coach at the time brian young went to a coaching conference and tom dyson my current head coach who was speaking there and he was talking about invisible disabilities and recruiting for the paralympics and well i i kind of knew that i couldn't run i couldn't squat and brian came back and said i think he classified the paralympics i've been in the squad since 2012 haven't been beaten basically since 2013 um i think i've won five world championships six or seven world cups and a paralympics and i don't plan stopping yeah britain's mixed cost four make it three paralympic titles the biggest reason i've owned the paralympic team is to win medals i wouldn't i wouldn't be here if i wasn't any good um people sometimes ask me why i love voting because i'm quite good at it if i was good at football i'd be a footballer but i'm not i can't run i can't kick a ball my hand-eye coordination is awful so we all have our separate goals a lot of people like the fact they get better every day a lot of people like the teamwork as well but i think at the root of it we're all here to win and if we stopped winning it wouldn't be as fun the mixed cox fours is probably one of the most interesting boats to row not only have you got boys and girls you've also got and also everybody has had a different rig different inboards outboards spans and it's all revolved around the disability each person has and i think the willingness our coaches have to go to that extent to try different things out and work out what's fast is one of the biggest reasons behind our success we do two or three sessions a day probably trying to hit about 150k a week and it's tough but it's all helped by the incredible infrastructure we have at camsham we train in one of the best training centres in the world a doctor that is on site physios nutritionist life advisors anything you want you can request and have a chance to so that they make things incredibly easy a lot of people would try out for the olympic team and not realize they had a minimal disability like fused ankles or nerve damage think about any struggles that you might have whether it's power based or whether you're asymmetrical or if you have a lack of movement or pain um and yeah come on down we'd love to have you gb power rowing not for everyone
