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 !
