Scottish Disability Sport is delighted to welcome Colette Martin as the Regional Manager for North and South Lanarkshire.
Colette brings extensive experience as an athlete, Board member and member of the Young Persons Sports Panel as well as from her previous role as Table Tennis Development Officer and volunteer coaching.
She has participated in disability sport from the age of nine and currently plays wheelchair basketball, having started with athletics as a hobby which led to her involvement with SDS from a very young age, attending many SDS events and Summer Camp as a teen.
Having competed internationally in athletics as a wheelchair racer, Colette quickly found a passion for sport. After graduating from the University of Stirling with a degree in Sport Studies, worked as Club Development Officer for the Joe Wilson Table Tennis Club and during this time started working with the inaugural SDS Young Persons Sport Panel and then simultaneously as a coach within the Young Start programme.
She joined the SDS Board, a role she has fulfilled for the last four years.
Colette is looking forward to beginning her role as Regional Development Manager for North and South Lanarkshire and is excited about working with partners in both areas.
