MERKUR UK Brand Ambassador Will Bayley MBE has produced a unique pre-Games video in which he answers questions from members of the team ahead of his appearance at the Paris Paralympics which open 28 August and run through to 8 September.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star, Britain’s most successful British Paralympic Table Tennis player, took time out of an intensive training schedule to cover a range of topics.
Will’s five-minute video provides a personal take on the importance he places on mental well-being, how he uses a nutritionist to get himself into the best possible physical shape, the degree to which athletes like himself rely on the support of their sponsors and how he is planning a MERKUR themed celebration should he win the Gold Medal.
Reflecting on his journey to the 2024 Paralympics Will said: “I have got a young family and a house to pay for so the support I receive from MERKUR who believe in my dreams is absolutely vital.”
He added: “As well as supporting me, MERKUR has helped a lot of smaller organisations and the company keeps making a difference in numerous local communities.
“I will have 100 friends and family travelling to support me in Paris which will make it feel like a home game. I can’t wait for my children to see me play and I’m still working on a MERKUR-themed win celebration!”
