Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:

My best memory in athletics was representing Great Britain at the U18 European Championships in July 2024, coming agonisingly close to getting the bronze medal by 0.001 of a second in the 110m hurdles. As well as running the 300 leg of the medley relay to secure a place for the GB Team in the final. 

Goals:

My goal is to compete for a college team for the Decathlon, go the the U20 European Championships and the World U20 Championships! Long term, I would like to represent Team GB in the Olympics. 

Anything else we should know?

Me and my coach focus on building gradual progress and improvement over time rather than quick fixes. I always consider the whole approach to developing my performance by mastering the fundamentals and being adaptive, for example, towards upcoming competitions or different season training. I am consistent with my training schedule but am also very aware of the need to balance that with rest and recovery. There is a real importance on collaboration and communication between me and my coach and also other adults that support me, like other coaches at the athletics club and my parents. I am very adaptable and willingly listen to advice as a way of developing myself as an athlete. My mental resilience is strong and I pride myself on being able to analyse my performance with my coaches and try my best whilst rising to the challenge of the goals set. I always try to train hard, as I feel this is important as if you’re not putting in the work in training then you’re not going to see the results. It is imperative to enjoy your sport and athletics is something I love and get a lot of enjoyment out of and also the friendships that come with it. I believe in a high level of trust and reciprocate that to make sure we are getting the best out of any session.
