About the session

In this session, Nathaniel Lewis answers some of the frequently-asked questions when it comes to being a wheelchair fencing coach, such as the following:

• What’s it been like to go from being coach with minimal wheelchair coaching experience to a coach who thinks he’d like to spend the rest of his life doing it?
• What was the transition from standing to wheelchair like?
• How can wheelchair help your standing coaching, and how can it be integrated into your club?
