Talking about Aspire Sports’ commitment to ‘Team Hazel’, Louise explained “I am pleased that Aspire Sports have joined ”Team Hazel” in my bid for success at the London 2012 Olympic Games. With seven events to train for in the heptathlon, my event is one which requires a lot of time, commitment and expense.
“With their support I am able to focus 100% on improving my performance for major championship competitions and, more importantly, for my Olympic Dream!”
And to further add to the good news, Louise has joined the Aspire Sports team as their latest Company Ambassador.
The current Commonwealth gold medallist becomes the sport education company’s third ambassador and in doing so joins Aston Villa legend Ian Taylor and England cricketer Chris Woakes in her new role.
Speaking of her role, the popular Birchfield Harrier said “It is a pleasure to be working with Aspire Sports in the build up to the London 2012 Olympic Games. As a passionate sportswoman I feel that the way in which Aspire Sports delivers to schools is not only innovative but, more importantly, fun and enjoyable for youngsters.”
“Their work with inactive children, with support of the NHS, reaches children who are most in need of a healthy and active lifestyle and it is great to see the effect that they have on the wider community and overseas with the Aspire to Africa campaign” Louise continued.
In between her busy training schedule Louise will promote Aspire Sports and attend numerous events throughout the year, including visits to local schools.
“Our current ambassadors do a fantastic job in promoting the company and our values but we felt that we were missing a female role model” commented Aspire Sports Director Paul Griffiths.
“And that is the reason we approached Louise. She is an adopted Brummie who has a glowing reputation on the athletics circuit and shares our passion for sport and physical activity. We really are delighted to have Louise on board and we’ll be backing her all the way in her quest to compete and win at London 2012!”
