"If you want something bad enough, then you adapt. No matter how much it hurts physically and emotionally."

 

Recognised not only for his results, Ben is widely regarded as one of Australian Paralympic sport’s most authentic personalities. He is articulate, warm, and self-deprecatingly funny β€” an effusive storyteller who connects equally with children’s audiences and corporate rooms. He is vocal about growing up with cerebral palsy, carrying the narrative with confidence rather than fragility.

He lives in Manly on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and trains at Thredbo, with dryland work in Sydney. He has spoken publicly about the importance of β€œstaying in the moment” under pressure, a theme that resonates across high-performance sport, mental health, and youth audiences.
