Next up on the Live On Form Podcast is CEO of Goalball UK, Mark Winder. For those of you unfamiliar with this unique sport, Goalball is a game played with blindfolds and a ball with bells inside it. It was originally created to rehabilitate soldiers after WWII and is the only sport designed specifically for the blind and visually impaired. Mark has spent his career working in schools, colleges, local authorities and professional sports clubs and is now helping to transform the lives of thousands of visually impaired people across the UK.
