Mushad Ahmed said, "At One Formation, we believe in young people and use sport to help unlock their incredible talents –  benefitting not only their lives, but the communities around them.
 
"The ‘Sporting Heroes’ series is not just about encouraging people to get involved in sports but promoting the greater benefits it can offer – discipline, purpose, team spirit and, most importantly, enjoyment – especially for those who sometimes lack a sense of belonging.
 
"Mo demonstrates that with grit and perseverance anything is achievable. 

"His journey from “school drop-out” to professional British rugby player, champion Jiu-Jitsu fighter and qualified doctor is an example to us all and showcases the true power of sport as a force for good.

"With the right guidance, young people up and down the country can feel inspired to follow in Mo’s very large footsteps."
