Sylvie was diagnosed with arthritis as a child, but always had a desire to pursue sport. A lifelong football fan, she always felt like her condition was holding her back. Sylvie talks to Summer Artman, a member of the England netball team, who also has arthritis, about the different ways in which she deals with her condition but still remains at the top of her game. Feeling inspired and invigorated, Sylvie eventually decides to book a tennis lesson for herself.
