How long have you been involved in sport?

Altogether I have been playing sport for 15 years and have been involved in competing with university teams for 2 and this is my first year as a coach

Best thing about being part of a sport or sports team?

Being around people that share the same passion and goals as you. And getting actively involved in an environment with people that support you

Favourite sporting moment at Uni?

Being elected as coach was a great moment in my sporting career at the university as it gave me a position to step up within the team and become a role model to everyone

How does participating in Sport positively affect your Mental Health?

At uni it is easy to become overwhelmed and stressed. I feel as though playing sports really help me get through that in a physical environment where I can put all my energy in and clear my mind

What would you say to someone who might be interested in joining a sports team?

I would highly recommend joining a sports team! Through the teams I am on I have built relationships with people I never would have met otherwise. I also think it is a great way to get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself in a new environment
