Sport is incredibly powerful. It is an avenue to connect people from all different walks of life. It has the ability to bring people together, to transform communities to share stories. For me personally – it provides me with a platform to compete and push me to get the best out of myself both as a person and as an athlete. Moving from an individual sport to a team sport – I have got so much joy from sharing my journey with team mates, building relationships, sharing the highs and the lows. Sport has taught me resilience and perseverance. My goals at the moment are to focus on being present and in the moment and enjoy the process. I feel like i am in a position where i can focus on helping the ones around me and that will in turn make me a better person.
