Sporting relatives:

His partner Hannah Cockroft has represented Great Britain in wheelchair racing. She won two gold medals at the 2012 Paralympic Games in London and three gold medals at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. (chesterstandard.co.uk, 27 Jul 2020; sportindustry.biz, 20 Sep 2019; SportsDeskOnline, 01 Mar 2021)

Other sports:

He has played wheelchair basketball for the Manchester Mavericks in England. (Twitter profile, 28 Jun 2018)

He began wheelchair racing in 2013 at Kirkby High School in England. (liverpoolecho.co.uk, 01 Aug 2014; sportsaid.org.uk, 30 Jun 2014)

He was passionate about sport from a young age and played basketball for seven years before taking up Para athletics. "My dad always thought I should try every sport that I could try, so I've done basketball, swimming, water skiing, rowing. You name it, I've tried it. I was always quite quick on the basketball court, so my dad thought I should try racing. After that, I never really looked back. I instantly fell in love with the independence of the sport, as I didn't have to depend on a team like I did in basketball, nor an adult or a carer. I love that a win is down to my hard work and a loss is also completely down to me and only I can correct that to improve." (birchallblackburn.co.uk, 01 Jul 2019; sportsaid.org.uk, 30 Jun 2014; thisismedtech.com, 03 Sep 2020)

To win a gold medal at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. (cheshirelife.co.uk, 16 Jan 2020)

He trains six days a week, and has a total of nine weekly sessions. "I am in my racing chair every day, either on the track, road, or roller, and I'm in the gym three times a week with my strength and conditioning coach." (birchallblackburn.co.uk, 01 Jul 2019)

Winning three bronze medals and one gold medal at the 2018 European Championships in Berlin, Germany. (birchallblackburn.co.uk, 01 Jul 2019)

Philosophy:

"I believe my disability is the best thing that ever happened to me. I wouldn't have travelled the world, met amazing people or raced for my country if it hadn't. I'm lucky." (cheshirelife.co.uk, 16 Jan 2020)

In 2013 he received the Active Cheshire Para Sports Achiever of the Year Award in England. (sportsaid.org.uk, 30 Jun 2014; efds.co.uk, 01 Jun 2014)
