Hi as you know I have got cerebral palsy and I was wondering what it is like getting into a sport career with that type of disability if anyone knows. I currently am doing a levels in sport and I do not know whether to continue it to university yet. I have not sure what type of job I would like but I don't mind. I Am up for a challenge as nothing holds me back. What would be the best way to do this dream of career choice?

Thanks for sharing @Creed5. Making decisions about the future can feel difficult, but it sounds like an exciting time for you! I wonder if @Richard_Scope can advise?

Hi @Creed5Good to speak with you again. What type of career in sports are you thinking of? Are you keen on being a trainer/teacher? I could place to start would be our friends at CP Sport. They have lots of resources available and could offer advice on how to get into coaching. Have you had a discussion with the careers people at your college? That can often be a good starting point as well. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with.
