When and how did you get involved in sport?
I have been involved with sport from a very young age! Grew up close to the MTB trails of Glentress in Peebles which was amazing to have that right on the doorstep so was so good in the development of my riding.
Career highlights:
Winning my first world cups in Canada in 2019! Bronze medal at the recent road world championships in Portugal and also being selected for the upcoming Paralympics.
How many Paralympic Games have you competed in?
This will be my first.
What are your ambitions in Tokyo?
As it’s my first I don’t want to put to much pressure on myself but I would love to come away with some silverware but I’m just looking forward to the experience and giving it my all and then if a result comes from that it’s a bonus!
Do you have one bit of advice for an aspiring athlete?
I think the main bit that I always remind myself is just to enjoy it! Yes there are big races but in the end it’s just another race and you’ve done plenty before so you know what you’re doing and if you go in stressing you are not going to come away with the best performance. Nerves are a good thing but not when it is detrimental to your performance.
