My name is Scott Robertson and I’m preparing to compete in the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, Germany, in September. Invictus is an international multi-sport event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women (both serving and veterans). The word ‘Invictus’ means ‘unconquered’, which is a reminder of what’s possible, post injury. I’ll be competing in indoor rowing, table tennis and sitting volleyball.
