Who is your sporting heroine? Cheryl Griggs – She is an extremely talented sports person and is continually encouraging and supportive of women in sport.
How many hours per week do you train/exercise? Depending on where I am at during a season I can train individually 4 times per week, Train with a team up to 3 times per week and play in competition 2 times a week. Approximately 10 - 15 hours.
What do you love about your sport? I love the team aspect of Touch Football, I have made some life long friends through the sport. I also love that Touch Football has a mixed element (men and women) both playing on the field together – not many sports have that.
If you could change something about your sport, what would it be? It would be amazing if Touch Football was in the Olympics.
What motivates you? There are a lot of different things that motivate me: keeping healthy, having fun, winning, not letting team mates down, family and friends.
Do you have a profession outside of your sport? Yes, unfortunately Touch Football is not a professional sport so I am a PE teacher, which is pretty fun as far as ‘jobs’ go.
Three words that describe you: Honest, Loyal and Dedicated.
If I wanted to play your sport, what advice would you give me? Go down to your local touch football association and sign on into a team and get involved. It is a great family sport and that is how I started – playing locally with my Dad and sister.
