Bryan Stevens

Age: 19

Home town: Aviemore

My disability: Hydrocephalus

My level of mobility: Independent (Manual Chair User)

The course I am attending: Sport and Recreation Progression Award Level Two

Why I chose this course: I chose the course because it was the closest one to home, which offered the best disability sport

What I hope to get out of the course: I want to gain qualifications, learn about different sports, meet new people and develop my basketball and athletics skills. At the moment I play basketball at national league division two for Bristol Pirates.

My thoughts about National Star College: I went to a mainstream school and had only met one person with a disability before I came to college, so coming to the National Star College meant I could meet and socialise with other people with disabilities, although it can be a bit protective for the more independent students at times.

What I hope to do after National Star College: I would like to work as a sports development officer for people with disabilities in the Scottish Highlands, and I would hopefully like to travel and play basketball in Ireland and America. I would also like to compete at international level in Basketball or Athletics one day.
