Ben Marston
“Hi, my name is Ben Marston. I am a 17 year old ten pin bowler from Sunderland in the North East of England. I’ve been bowling since I was 7 years old when I joined Excel Sunderland Youth Bowling Club and since then, my passion for ten pin bowling has gone from strength to strength.
For a number of years, I have been competing in tournaments across the UK, Europe and the USA. My ambition is to become a professional bowler and compete in PBA (Professional Bowlers Association) tournaments around the world.”
NdS Ambassador

With self-awareness and the right formula, success in sport is possible—whatever that looks like for you.
Ben embodies this message through his achievements in bowling and beyond. Diagnosed with ADHD and traits of dyspraxia, he has represented England internationally and uses his platform to share real-life insights, tackle stigma, and inspire others.
