“Working with Sports Plus Scheme has opened my passion for an array of sports – I eat and breathe sport – and I realise the importance that this has for the primary school children we work with. Physical sport can build confidence, demonstrate a healthy lifestyle and inspire primary school children to keep fit. Some children come alive in physical sport and opportunities in school give them opportunities in life to do and be what they want.

When I was younger, I wanted to be a professional footballer and to work in the sport industry. My college course in Level 2 Football Coaching led me to supporting my sister’s involvement in football. It was then I met Andy Mulligan and joined Sports Plus Scheme. I’ve been with the company for 19 years. Through Sports Plus Scheme, I have developed a love for an array of sports, including Gymnastics, and I strive to be a positive role model and share my passion for sport.”
