My grandma was a track and field athlete and she introduced me into the sport when I was 7 years old as she saw potential in me and knew I had a lot of energy in me when I was a kid.

My parents did all the job, as they encouraged me to do sports since i was 4yrs old. As a result, i like exercising soo much that i can't really stop doing it. I tried many sports but now tennis is my thing. I always liked the appearance of tennis players, all those white dresses and skirts, that was what actually inspired me to play tennis :)

I went to the after school athletics club during primary school because i wanted to try out a variety of sports and this was one of the ones I chose. I really enjoyed it and my teacher said I should try out at my local athletics club so I did.

My social group encouraged me to participate in football from a young age. This allowed me to better fit in, therefore Since primary school I have been determined to get better at football and strive to become a better player. This has lead to sports becoming a huge passion of mine and has lead me to want to pursue a career in sports.

In primary school, I had a really passionate PE teacher. She loved every sport and wanted everyone to love it as much as she did. She used to invite coaches from various sports clubs into our school to teach us some new skills or to introduce us to that sport. One day, the coach from the local athletics club came in. He was so positive, and so accepting. He watched me run and throw and said I should join the club. Once I joined, I would just do long distance running. However, every week I would see the javelin throwers throwing so far and all being very social. I started watching YouTube clips of professionals and I thought it was such a beautiful sport. I decided I wanted to do that too. I asked the coach, I did one session and then he said he was more than happy to take me on.

Being introduced to play socially from an extremely early age in the playground at school, and the benefits of fitness and general enjoyment made me take it further and play competitively. As well as watching football and the support it gets made me take it further.

I started off initially exercising in my room as I wanted to get bigger as I had started doing well in Rugby at my school, I also wanted to look better and stronger. However as I progressed and developed I kept my consistency as I realised that exercise and fitness was changing my life for the better, and that I was doing this for myself instead of for others.

Boost confidence and look good as I wanted to look like a superhero

The reason I play/enjoy watching football is because my dad used to always get me into the living room when a match was on, and I Remember that I wanted to be like one of the players   So when ever I had a ball at my feet I always tried to imitate the way they played. I keep playing today because I want to keep my fitness up

Athletics is my chosen sport. I started doing athletics at 14 because I was always fast but I wanted to always be even more faster and I just love sprinting. Another reason why was started doing athletics was because I wanted to be the fastest in my school, which I did become later by working hard. After a year or so I had an injury then I stopped for a bit. When I came back into to it my dream was to become a pro and it still is.

Inheriting natural athletic bodily features made me a general sporting all rounder, but football allows me to be myself and express what I’ve learned from watching so much football.

Family introduced me to football by simply mentioning it in conversations when I was aged 5/6. From that point forward I would take an interest in not only watching football matches but also shows such as “Match of the Day and Soccer saturday.” This provided me with an insight into many facetes of football which in turn led to an increase in the amount I partook in the sport. In recent years my use of Twitter has increased which also contributed to my increased interest in the tactical side of football due to the exposure of it on social media.

Two friends told me that I can’t play football in a boys team cause I am a girl. I was stubborn and I talked with the coach and I started practicing with them without my mom and dad know about it.

There isn’t a sport in particular that I’ve stuck with. However I do play football the most as I’ve watched it growing up and enjoy it the most compared to every other sport. It’s the sport I’m most familiar with which is why I’ve stuck to it all these years. I work out most days of the week as it helps me have an organised mindset and I like the variety of exercises there are. Seeing other people be healthy and fit inspires me to do the same for a long and happy life.

Forced into watching football via my cousins and came to the realisation that I actually liked the sport.
