“I've never been a ‘sporty’ person, so it has taken some time for me to find forms of movement that I enjoy and these are always changing. Aside from netball, I enjoy walking with my husband and dog and discovering new places and spaces to do so - these are the best adventures. Physical activity for me is defined as an opportunity to laugh, have fun, and spend time with loved ones. The rest is a bonus.
Being active is the best and most effective form of downtime and self-care for me, but it can be a challenge to find the time. However, I know that if I am able to look after myself, I am able to be the best version of myself for others, and this motivates me to be active.”
