Choosing Gymnastics Over Football

From that moment on I was completely captivated by the beautiful game of football. As a kid I juggled competing for Great Britain in gymnastics and a four year contract at Notts County football club. Throughout my career the question I got asked the most by far was who I chose gymnastics over football. And this is my story.
