Ambassadors

“Growing up, PE for me was my favourite subject and the best part of the school week. Luckily, because of the involvement and participation in the sporting lessons, I was able to find my feet and fall in love with something which I can now call my dream job.

When I heard about what the guys at Action For Sport have experienced and witnessed, it really shocked and blew my mind. There are kids out there in my own community, who are too scared to even participate in PE lessons and further sporting channels because of their situation. To hear this really broke my heart. I really wanted to reach out to the guys at Action For Sport and help where I can, to make sure every child gets the fair opportunity to take part in sport.”

“In this day and age every sport loving child should have the opportunity to own their own sports gear. I still remember receiving my first football kit and boots, tennis racket and cricket bat from my parents… they are great memories which will stay with me for the rest of my life.”

“As a young boy I had one passion in life, that passion was football. I would play after school I would play at the park with my mates, and I played on both a Saturday and a Sunday for my local teams. Like many young boys across the country, I would always dream of becoming a professional footballer, a dream that I never envisaged would come true.

However, this all changed one day whilst playing for my local club when a scout saw something in me that he believed many people had missed. I would go on to realise my dream of being a professional footballer with Huddersfield Town and Doncaster Rovers and represented my county in the Wales Under 21 squad.

I am proud to be an Action For Sport Ambassador where I can hopefully inspire others to follow their dreams and to never give up.”
