I have an incredibly strong work ethic, as well as a good social media presence. This means that not only can I promote your brand, but I can also promote it by being seen to be achieving with it.
Breaking boundaries and encouraging women in sport is a huge part of my personality, whether it be from obtaining my own club instructor qualification so that I can teach those without the same chances as me, or being active about it online. One of my biggest focuses is grass roots shooting. As an athlete, it is sad when you win medals more for turning up than for a good performance, but with such a lack of female shooters in Scotland, this is how many competitions turn out for me. It is beneficial not only to myself but to the sport as a whole if I can use my own knowledge and success to bring women into the sport, after all, our top shooters in Scotland are ladies, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be more.
I solidly believe that sports should be something for everyone. You don’t have to be the typically sporty type like those you see in schools, there are hundreds of sports out there, from high energy field hockey, to calm and controlled shooting. There is something for everybody.
I also believe that women in sport do not get as much exposure as they should do. When I was at school, a huge amount of the PE budget went into the boy’s cricket and not into girl’s field hockey. This happened even though 4 members of the girls first XI were in the Scotland squad, and the team was bringing home many more success stories than the cricket team.
This is not something I wish to continue. By continuing my shooting career and being seen to be a successful female athlete I can do my part to push back the stigma and break boundaries for women in sport.
