GUSA’ S LGBT + ROLE MODELS IN SPORT

Name: Tillie Russel
Year of Study: 4th year
Subject: History
Sport( s): Ski & Snowboard
1. What is your greatest achievement in sport?
I would say probably medalling in the British Dryslope championships, that and not falling off the lift at Hillend.
2. How has being a part of a sport’ s club benefited your time at UofG?
GUSSC has given me the opportunity to go on trips to France, up north, meet a huge network of like minded people but also turn something I considered a hobby in something I could actually compete in.
3. What would you say to those who are new to sport / anxious about using the gym?
The best thing I have done is try and get over that anxiety, which I think everyone feels. Overcoming it, step by step and asking friends to support you will not only open doors for you in sport but also make you feel proud that you conquered it!
