My name is Tyler. I have an interest in all sports but particularly football and following my team, Southend United.  I am the member of Youth Parliament for Rochford & Castle Point and enjoy attending different meetings and events with other young people. I believe sports is such a crucial thing to many people’s lives, either being general fitness or helping improve people’s mental health. It is such an important recreational activity we need to ensure it stays around and flourishing. From personal experience, doing a different sport nearly every day, I push myself to the limit for the better.

From cycling every day, going to the gym, and attempting to go to local events, I would like to try get more young people into sports. I volunteer at a local youth club and help to run their football sessions for the younger children with huge success and positivity from them all. With others, I’d like to pursue this, organise more events to help get young people moving!
