Footballer Jamie Clarke’s superpower is scoring goals – lots of them. As captain of the England Deaf Men football team, he scored an incredible six goals in the group stage of the World Deaf Football Championships in Malaysia this September. But, having made it through to the last 16, there was heartbreak when his team lost 1-0 to the USA.
Even though the team didn’t go all the way, Clarke hopes its achievements will inspire young deaf people to do anything they set their minds to. “You have to believe in yourself, and always dream big,” Clarke says, via video call from the tournament. “You can achieve whatever you want to – nothing’s impossible.”
