How did you first get involved in your sport?
I started in a beach volleyball focused summer camp when I was 11 years old and continued from there! I started playing junior indoor volleyball from 12 - 18 years old, representing England in European internationals tournaments. When I was 18, I made the decision to specialise in beach volleyball with intentions to go pro in this sport and play in the elite world tournament series across the world as well as world championships.
What is a typical week for you?
I am currently working at an industry placement full time and in off-season till March, so my weeks have been really busy. I train in the mornings, so usually 4.30/5am wake up for either gym S&C / conditioning sessions or beach volleyball sand sessions 4/5 days a week. I then work, and 2 evenings a week I am back at the courts for evening sessions. Saturdays I will have an endurance/ track session then Sundays are always rest days! In season looks very similar, however weekends / weeks will be travelling for tournaments abroad / across the UK.
What are your greatest sporting achievements?
Greatest sporting achievements include winning the national title and competing in Sardegna against Italy, Spain, Slovenia and Russia which was an amazing opportunity. This season my goal is to play internationally as part of the Women’s senior beach volleyball team in futures world tour events!
