When and how did you get involved in sport?
I started playing lawn bowls when I was 12. I started my para bowls involvement in 2009, assisting at training sessions preparing the players for the 2011 World Championships. As a bowler competing for Scotland at International level myself I loved passing my experiences to the players to prepare them for competition on the world stage.
Career highlights to date:
2015 IBD World Championships – Director to Maria Spenser Gold in the B3 singles and Silver in the B3 Mixed pairs. Many Scottish Singles championships directing Robert Barr.
Selected for the 2018 Commonwealth games as director for Robert Barr and delighted to be selected with Robert again for the 2022 games
What are your ambitions for the Commonwealth Games?
We finished a cruel 4th place in 2018. We lost the shot to the last bowl in an extra end after finishing the match level. I would love to medal as the players, Robert and Melanie deserve to after all the hard work they put in.
Do you have one piece of advice for an aspiring athlete?
Perfecting the little things make the big days happen!
