Why did you want to join the Fit for Girls programme?
I think getting more women and girls involved in sport and physical exercise is vital to support happy, healthy, confident young women. I wanted to join Fit for Girls as I wanted to learn how I can help make that a reality.
What do you want to achieve as a Fit for Girls Tutor?
I want to create an environment where women and girls feel confident, safe and welcome when participating in any physical activity. I want everyone to feel as though sport is for them, regardless of gender or ability. I also want to encourage women in sport to inspire others to do the same and show them sport is for everyone!
Your message to girls wanting to get involved in sport:
Take the leap! Not everything will be for you, but you’ll never know until you try. Don’t worry about what others might be thinking and try everything! You’ll soon find the perfect thing(s) for you!
