Achievements
Injuries
In 2009, Strong sustained a serious injury to one of his legs. In a statement to the Liverpool Echo, Strong’s coach, Jay Scouler, said, "Luke’s injury was the worst I’ve ever experienced with one of my athletes. The doctors said they may take his leg off. They were talking about amputation." But Strong made a full recovery and returned to compete in 2010 and won bronze in the British Trampoline Championships. In the beginning of 2015, Strong had another accident, again breaking his leg, but by June 2015 he was fully recovered.
