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.
