How did you start playing sport ?
From a very early age at primary school, I used to go and watch my dad playing every Saturday which probably got me interested in football. He encouraged me to play as often as possible with my friends.

What sports did you play when you were a child ?
Mostly football, although at school I enjoyed rugby, tennis and golf, which I still play. But it was football that I played the most.

What do you enjoy about sport ?
Everything! It keeps you fit and healthy, but most of all, so much fun. Trying out different sports with your friends improves your own personal skills, and also you can meet so many different people while playing sport.

How do you keep fit and healthy ?
Training every day, either on the football pitch, in the gym or in the swimming pool gets me stronger. But my diet is just as important. Lots of fruit and veg, and of course plenty of water.

Who was the biggest influence on your career ?
My family, both my grandfathers in particular always encouraged me to play football, and were always having a kick around with me. My parents also played sport my dad played football and my mum played hockey, so I suppose it just runs in the family!

How important do you think Dragon Sport is? What impact do you think it will have on Welsh sport ?
It is very important, it improves childrens skills in various sports. It helps them prepare for when they are older - when they will hopefully be big Welsh sports stars!
I think it will have a huge impact, Dragon Sport will help us as a country to find and train the next generation sporting superstar.
