I finished 9th overall individually too and although I was a little disappointed to just miss out on the final I was really happy with the result and that my scores contributed to the team.
Pam began her career in her native Scotland before moving to the prestigious City of Liverpool trampoline club and can’t wait for her first senior British Championships…
I’m originally from East Kilbride which is about an hour from Glasgow. Since I was a junior I had thought about how I would prepare for senior competition.
Progressing as a senior I felt like it would help a lot to train with other senior athletes and made the move to Liverpool Trampoline Club which has made a huge impact to my career. It’s fantastic training with other team members, getting the best coaching and training alongside artistic gymnastic champions.
One of the reasons I made the move was for my studies too and now I’m at university at Liverpool John Moores doing a degree in Sport development and Physical Education. I’ve just finished my first year and it has been a fun experience as well as training.
I’m really looking forward to the British Championships, especially as its being held in the city of my club. As a first year senior this will be the first time I’ve competed against some of the more experience girls in a home event.
This year, all three of our routines will count towards medal positions not just the final routine so there’s lots of pressure and it’s not only new for the audience but for the gymnast too, so we are really excited!
After the British Championships focus then turns to the World Championships, something Pam is clearly focused on…
I’m hoping to make my first senior World Championships later this year and looking to aim for the top 24 then top 8 for the final. After coming fourth at the World Cup recently I now I know I can compete with the best.
