Pushing the Limits

Overview

No other sport in the world requires that you tape your racket to your hand - but for wheelchair tennis. Mark Eccleston is an athlete who has overcome tremendous adversity - this frank, fearless and often funny film tells his triumph of the human spirit. He became one of the world's leading wheelchair tennis players and held the World No 1 spot for fourteen months. He went on to win a silver medal in the Athens Paralympics in 2004. Mark could never have achieved this level of success without the great will power he shows daily - and a philosophy which is as useful to the able bodied as to the disabled.
