Full Time Training
 
From September 2015 a new 4 year, full time training programme starts at the Sports Wales National Centre. This will be a 'live in' training centre which will also be mixed with University Studies.
 
Training will typically be up to 6 hours per day varying from core conditioning to ballet, from apparatus skills to full choreography of routines, all in the lead up to the next set of major competitions and championships.

Competitions, Championships and Dreams
 
Last year was great, winning both the Welsh and British All Around Titles and in 2014 finishing in the top 50 at the World Championships as well as winning a silver and two bronze medals at the Commonwealth Games. This was a major highlight with last year being only my second year as a senior gymnast.
 
The coming year will see me compete in the World CHampionships, European Championshiops, British and Welsh Championships as well as many Open International Competitions all over the world. It's a busy schedule!
 
The current focus is to qualify to represent Great Britain for the Olympic Games and Wales in the next Commonwealth Games in Australia
