She took up judo at age eight at Coventry Judo Club in England. She also did gymnastics but began to focus on judo at around age 13. "There was a point where I needed to make a choice between gymnastics and judo because they were on the same day." (Judo YouTube channel, 01 Mar 2021; onlysupernews.com, 17 Mar 2020)
:
"I have done lots of things - swimming, dancing and gymnastics. But my brother does judo so I used to go along and watch him until, one day, the coach invited me onto the mats and I've just done judo ever since. It was never really on my mind to go full-time in judo, but when I got the offer to go full-time it just built from there. It's never been one of those things where I really wanted to go to the Olympics, I just really like judo and thankfully its led me to this place." (onlysupernews.com, 17 Mar 2020)

POSITIVE MINDSET
She said she had to focus on her mindset after struggling to find motivation during 2019 and 2020. "The beginning of last year [2019] wasn't a great start to the year. When you're going into competitions and you've had a hard fight and back-to-back losses, it's hard to come back from it. You have to love the sport or you just couldn't do it. I knew the Olympic qualifications were coming up. I really wanted to be qualified and because the start of the year wasn't great, my mindset started to be like, 'I'm not going to make it, I really need these results'. But then you've just got to forget about the results and think, 'If I perform well, I can get them'. It's about changing your mindset, not thinking about what might happen and focusing on what I can do." (onlysupernews.com, 17 Mar 2020)
