My name is Maddie and I am 15 years old.

 

Being active and taking part in sport is something that is extremely important to me. It helps me to relax, calm down and make my day better. Physical activity has also helped to boost my confidence and enable me to make so many new friends.

 

Encouraging other people to participate in sport means so much to me. I like leading people to find the sport that they love and the sport that is for them.

 

I have played netball for 9 years and currently play within my local league. Discus is my passion and recently I have placed 2nd in Essex for my age group. There is nothing better than seeing all of your hard work paying off which is why encouraging others to participate is so important. However, just doing something to keep active is the biggest achievement in itself.

 

I am so excited to have had this opportunity and I can’t wait to meet other individuals who have the same mindset towards sport and physical activity.

 

Everything is possible when you put your mind to it!
