Sport has always been an integral part of my life whether it be playing or viewing. I have played many sports to a high standard throughout my life including Rugby, Football and Athletics. However, I have been unlucky and have sustained various serious injuries that have limited my participation. This has not dampened my love and appreciation for sport instead it has given it a new dimension, allowing me to observe more and even achieve a degree in Exercise and Sports Science.

I will always continue to be involved in sport and fitness. I have volunteered to go into my old school to stress the importance of sport and fitness to children and encouraged them to be involved this is also the case within the local gym in which I stress the importance of both exercise and nutrition to a huge variety of people.

To be part of the biggest global sporting event would mean the world to me and feel like I would be contributing back to the sporting world which has helped develop me into the person I am today. CR
