I find sport interesting and a fun way of doing exercise. Sport has gone though my family for a long time now and I want to keep it running. My sister really inspired me to be a sporty child because she has won over 25 medals and 8 trophies and she is only 16, and I want to be just like her when I am older ( she plays for the England Handball team and, she also trains with the GB handball team and she might do well enough to get into the team and play in the olympics). She also used to do trampolining and she did very well

My parents are also really sporty, my mum plays netball and coaches my netball club Richmond Ravers and she also ran with the torch, and my dad plays rugby and throws so far that it could be a quarter of a mile. My auntie is also very good at sport because she ran in the Olympics 3000Metres and came second but 4 years later the person who came first was taking drugs so she should have won first place. She was in one of the most famous races of the 80s the race where Marry Dekker got tripped up by Zola Budd who runs with bare feet.

All of that has inspired me to do the sport that I have done today. At the moment I am doing seven sports a week. My main sport is Netball, and at the moment we have a lot of tournaments coming up. We have played 1 all ready and we won all 3 of our games. We have a few more tournaments coming in January, February and March. I also play judo and I am on yellow belt now, but I injured my shoulder playing judo so now I am fighting through the pain.

I have also started an athletics club at St Marys college and I have got a lot faster. I used to do Gymnastics in the morning but now it has been cancelled but it was a nice thing to do in the morning. I also play handball like my sister and it helps me get stronger for Netball. I play mixed sport as my club on Thursday and year 6 most of the time run the club and I got an award and so did Frankie, Lucy and Ross they help me. I like to play catch in the park

My previous sports are Dancing/ballet Crosscountry Swimming Ball games Play football in the playground and I used to do a football club in school kayaking
