Ben Lampert, from Watford, was honoured to carry the Olympic flame through Harrow earlier this week.
The 27-year-old sportsman plays for the GB Deaf football team and has taken on his own skills and experiences to coach deaf children.
He has become a mascot for blind people and after working for Brentford Football Club, has established links with three primary and secondary schools that have deaf pupils.
Ben also aims to set up his very own football club aimed at deaf children. On top of this, he also plans to coach in tennis.
