I began playing a variety of sports from tennis and swimming to athletics, until I got into the county side and decided that netball was the sport I enjoyed the most and wanted to take seriously.

I also love the buzz of competition, the excitement of facing an unknown opponent and the challenges you face along the way.

I enjoy swimming, cycling and also running. I enjoy exercising with my friends as much as possible as well as playing netball.

The biggest influences on my sporting career are my mum and dad. Due to their constant support and encouragement.
How important do you think Dragon Sport is? What impact do you think it will have on Welsh sport?
Firstly Dragon Sport will allow young people already involved in sport to continue doing so through the summer. But also it will take sports into communities in Wales that may not necessarily have the facilities or the programmes to do so. Giving children equal opportunities to experience sports.
Children are the sporting stars of the future, by promoting sports at a young age Dragon sports will enable more young people to reach a high level, broadening the scope for Welsh sports. |
