Best sport<strong>in</strong>g memory or sport<strong>in</strong>g achievement?<br />
Sky<strong>in</strong>g a GB Ultimate coach <strong>in</strong> a tournament a few years ago to w<strong>in</strong> the game.<br />
What three words describe you best ?<br />
Spontaneous, chatty, and quite laid-back<br />
Who's your female sport<strong>in</strong>g hero ?<br />
Don't th<strong>in</strong>k I could name one specific person; I was really blessed to start<br />
play<strong>in</strong>g Ultimate on a team with a lot of women on it, which meant I had<br />
lots of fantastic athletes to look up to and help me learn!<br />
What do you enjoy most about your sport?<br />
I love how sport br<strong>in</strong>gs people together regardless of their differences. Ultimate is<br />
such a social sport, and on the teams that I've played on, people have always<br />
been friendly and sought to build up their teammates <strong>in</strong> a way that I've not seen<br />
<strong>in</strong> other sports. (It's also just a ridiculously fun game to play!)<br />
What advice would you give to other women try<strong>in</strong>g to become more physically<br />
active or want<strong>in</strong>g to start play<strong>in</strong>g a sport?<br />
Absolutely go for it! Don't compare yourself to others negatively, especially when<br />
start<strong>in</strong>g a new sport or gett<strong>in</strong>g back <strong>in</strong>to be<strong>in</strong>g more active, it doesn't help<br />
anyth<strong>in</strong>g! Your value doesn't lie <strong>in</strong> what other people th<strong>in</strong>k; be the best<br />
sportsperson you can be: ask for advice, make the mistakes, and have fun do<strong>in</strong>g it!
