Volleyball - Criminology and Criminal Psychology

How long have you been involved in sport?

I have been involved in various sports since I was two years old. I started the mixed volleyball team in my first year at university and have played on the mixed team for two years and I am now on the women's team! I am also the social secretary in the committee for volleyball.

How has being active benefited you?

Being active at uni has helped me socialise, volleyball has been great as it gives you a break from studying and the stress of deadlines and it also gives you something to look forward to. I always look forward to seeing my teammates every week!

How can others get involved?

Others can get involved by either taking part competitively or socially, by joining the socials and coming to training or support the team at matches.

Describe what sport means to you in three words?

Sport for me is fun, exciting and connecting. Before starting uni, everyone told me to get involved in a sport or society and I cannot say how much this means for new students as it's a great chance to get to know people you otherwise wouldn't meet as well as to challenge yourself.
