Biography

I have played Handball for nearly 5 years. the aggression and high intensity is what attracted me to the sport. I started playing for a small home club Olympia Cannock which i still play for now I am at Loughborough.

I moved to Loughborough in September and love everything about being here, i am training twice a day and have so many more opportunities to train and play matches which is something i missed out a lot on during Covid. I now also play for the Loughborough University 1st team which is a great opportunity.

The JHMT Inspire award will go some way to helping me to focus on training and commit fully to education and sport without worrying about funding. I am already representing GB under 19's and wish to peruse this to full international status. Having researched the Joe Humphries Memorial Trust website and also having recently completed the online UK Coaching SCA - defibrillator training, I now have an understanding of the importance of training, development, and wellbeing.

In the future the aim is play abroad and to one day be in the Olympics 2028. I am already representing GB under 19's and wish to peruse this to full international status.
