Martial Attitude Voice

#163: Anxiety on the beach - The blind interview - Peter 16

Episode Summary

If blind, would you travel alone and far far away in another country to meet a friend and enjoy a different refreshing seaside air? How would you manage all the necessary passages that separates you to the final destination, once that you left behind the last known bus stop? Finally, is blindness compelling to rely more on others or are rather people who became visually impaired later in life who suffer the most from the transition between being fully in control and being somehow dependent from others? This interview was first recorded on Thursday 4th of November, 2021.

Support Martial Attitude on PATREON

 

My experience with Soft Tissue Massage Therapy was fundamental in developing this program by providing me with many practical tools to develop the ideas and methods of MA Training.

 

My first objective through the university course in Sport Psychology is to gain a deeper understanding of:

 

The needs of the visually impaired and blind people when it comes to personal safety.

 

What is the impact of movement and tactile experiences for them.

 

I'd plan to achieve this by conducting a series of research interviews within the community  in order to gain quantitative and qualitative data.

 

The second objective is to to further develop and refine the MA Training program based on the outcome of the research and to build on the success that I have achieved so far.

 

Peter Sands (Chairman of the London Sports Club for the Blind) is registered blind himself and he says that "MA Training has personally helped me to feel confident in crowded situations, be aware of my posture alignments and overall has improved my balance."
