Dance along with Paralympics gold star Jason Smyth; swim along with teenage sensation Róisín Ní Ríain; spin along in tandem with Katie-George Dunlevy, cycling’s most successful Paralympian ever; swing along with ex-NYPD captain Paul McCormack who lost his sight after 9/11 before turning to blind golf. Jump into the world of multi-sport with seven times Paralympian Catherine Walsh.
Meet these sportspeople and many more who were struck down with sight loss but kicked on in sports including blind football, adapted rugby, tennis, or picked up the pieces with braille chess. In a “can’t see, can do” world, anything goes.

'Invites readers on a remarkable journey into the world of blind and vision impaired sportspeople in Ireland—a world too often overlooked. Through meticulous research and heartfelt interviews, Joe unveils hidden stories of dedication, resilience, and triumph that define this community.'  JASON SMYTH

'A fascinating read about the journey vision impaired sportspeople endure to succeed in sport, and in life in general. It’s a book not about disability, but more importantly, the ability of visually impaired individuals who journey on with vigour, determination and the will to succeed in their pursuit of excellence.'  EAMONN COGHLAN
