Name: Sami Stuart Tite<\/strong>
\nCoaching Certificate: Level 2<\/strong>
\nClassification: 5.0<\/strong>
\nHeight: 1.8m \/ 5’11\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been involved with the Northants Wheelchair Basketball Team on and off since 2004 after being asked by Chris Dabbs to help out driving a van full of chairs one evening.<\/p>\n

I stayed at the session and joined in with training. After a very enjoyable session I played for two years before work commitments made attendance too difficult.<\/p>\n

In 2011, My work situation had changed and I had been suffering Cartilage Injuries for about 4 years. Wheelchair Basketball had the appeal of competitive sport at a level I could still operate despite my injuries. I attended a Pre-Paralympic event to help out and ended up organising the session as the club was at a low attendance point and in need of players and assistance.<\/p>\n

By the March of 2012 I was a Level 2 Coach and undertaking much of the running of the club and coaching. I formed partnerships with the local university and ran events as WBXcel , all of which, helped to increase our numbers.<\/p>\n

My Proudest moments include Our first Competitive games as Player\/Coach with Phoenix and winning a Sportsmanship award at the University Competition with Stallions.<\/p>\n

In an amazing twist of fate, and following some very complicated and difficult times in my life, I embraced curiosities and medication resulting in my decision to share my feelings as being Transgender (Bi-Gender\/Fluid) and now walk again relatively pain free. My Personal Journey regarding this can be seen at samionside.com<\/a> and my Facebook Page, SamiOnSide. Anybody is welcome to ask me questions there if they feel a need or desire to do so.<\/p>\n

Phoenix has been a huge part of my life and I have many very good friends as a result. Their support for each other as people and club mates is an example for all. After a couple of years being a little less involved due to my own circumstances, I now hope to start getting back into it more again.<\/p>\n

My Favourite drill is the DW\/Marilyn Lay-Up, If you want to know how that works, Come Training<\/p>\n

WBXcel helps to deliver WB based events locally and welcome all enquiries. These Events help us to raise awareness and fund our Club and its Members.<\/p>\n

I am Proud to be Phoenix!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
