Personal Statement
I have loved participating in sport most of my life. I started out as a gymnast and trained over 14 hours a week from a very early age. Around 9 years old I transitioned from competitive club gymnastics to diving. My commitment to working hard at both school and sports continues today as I train over 15 hours a week while studying for my A-levels in the UK. I love the sport so much that I recently completed my level 1 judging course and am studying for my level 1 coaching course. I hope to be able to start coaching younger divers from the beginning of 2024.
My family are also obsessed with diving. My sister is currently a diver with University of Pittsburgh and last year reached NCAA finals. My mother regularly volunteers running diving events in the UK and last year helped run the Commonwealth Games even in Birmingham.
My dream is to be able to follow in my sister's footsteps. I understand through her what it takes to be a hard working university student and athlete in the USA and I am excited to be able to look into the possibility of continuing my education and sport with a great programme in the US.
