This scholarship is important to me because I strongly believe in the importance of education. I am incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to study and educate myself. I also believe that having interests outside of my sport makes me a better person and athlete by providing myself with another type of stimulation away from the sporting environment.
This scholarship is also incredibly important as being able to study alongside my sporting commitments means that I will be ready and able to make the transition away from my sport as easily as possible when the time comes.
