Jamie Beadsworth

Jamie Beadsworth (born 11 June 1985) is an Australian water polo player who competed in the 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics.^[1]

Beadsworth had a stroke on April 1, 2011 after being kicked in the neck accidentally at a National Water Polo League game.^{[citation needed]} Beadsworth claimed to feel a little uneasy and assumed he was concussed so his partner Leah drove him straight from the game to hospital where neurosurgeons determined he had in fact suffered a stroke. With no preexisting conditions or family history of heart failure/issues, the stroke was dubbed a freak accident, Beadsworth stating, "I was more concerned that my health was 100 per cent rather than (about) my water polo future".^{[citation needed]}

His sister is national water polo player, Gemma Beadsworth.
