Neither being born with spinal muscular atrophy, nor growing up in a small regional town of 800 people has stopped Jamieson Leeson from achieving some amazing things in her life so far.
The youngest person to represent Australia, Jamieson is a World Cup and World Championship gold medal winner in the sport of Boccia, one of only two Paralympic sports which doesn’t have an able bodied counterpart.
In this chat, Jamieson shares how she came to discover the niche sport, her attitude to being underestimated, and what it's like to travel the world to play elite sport with her mother.
