What is an average week like for you in terms of university and training?
1 or 2 training sessions most of the days, from Monday until Saturday. Normally it is about an hour/hour and a half per session. Either Tuesday or Wednesday we have a team match, so we travel around South Wales competing against other teams. In terms of uni, as I am doing an exchanging course, I don't have many lectures. So I just have them on Monday morning and Thursday afternoon.
What is your best/most memorable sporting achievement and why?
When I won the Junior National Championship. I hadn't been a high level junior player because I started to play very late, when I was 13, and that one was the results of a lot of training hours.
How is your season going so far?
Better than I expected. I have been abroad to compete and I have done it well. I went up 38 positions in the professional ranking during last month.
