Paralympian Issy Bailey

Monday Apr 11, 2022
As a keen hockey player Issy Bailey was drawn to study at Exeter and spent her first year playing for the University’s first team. During her first summer break she had a car accident which paralysed her from the waist down. But whilst rehabilitating she took up a new sport, pistol shooting; a sport which would see her compete at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
As part of our Mind Over Natter series Issy joined us to explain how this sport gave her a fresh perspective on life and helped shape the person she is today. In the podcast she gives us an insight to competing at the highest level whilst looking after her wellbeing. Listen now to hear her talk which is filled with useful motivational tips.
