Reason for taking up the sport
"My mum tells the story of me forever climbing and hanging on everything I could and everything I shouldn't. So at the age of two my journey as an artistic gymnast began. At the age of five I was selected into my first development squad and began to regularly train 15-19 hours per week. At the age of seven, after moving to a new club, my little gymnastics world crumbled when I was released from the artistic squad, being told that my strength development was slower than other gymnasts my age and that I 'would never become the gymnast that the coach and my parents wanted me to be'. My parents obviously didn't share the truth with me as they knew the upset it had already caused me. After much discussion it was advised to move across to tumbling." (gymproapparel.com, 01 Dec 2018)
