Episode description

Matt Bush is an incredible human being with an incredible mindset who was born with half of his left arm missing. He has a goal to win gold in Taekwondo in the Tokyo Paralympics.

Matt started playing sports from a  young age making it to county level for football and rugby. He threw the qualifying distance for the javelin in the Rio Olympics but did not go due to an injury. 

It was after this that he transitioned to Taekwondo and started fighting internationally. Simultaneously he became the number 1 in Great Britain for shot putt but sadly had to isolate during the selection competition ruling him out of throwing in Tokyo. 

He has however qualified for Tokyo in Taekwondo and is preparing to win gold there as he explains in the show.
