ATHLETE INSIGHT
HE SHOT PUT wasn’t always my main event. I was one of those kids who did everything from sports hall to cross country and road relays. I loved the heptathlon. But I saw myself achieving more with the shot and so, as the years went on, I started to focus on the throws instead.
My best friend at primary school convinced me to go along to a training night. I turned up at Halesowen AC and I loved it so much that I signed myself up within days and have remained a member there for around ten years.
