My day always begins with… a bowl of protein porridge and fruit. I try to eat breakfast as soon as I get up to stay fuelled, and that combination ensures I’m getting protein, carbs and minerals from the get-go. I always have electrolytes in my water too to keep me hydrated throughout the day – having multiple sweaty training sessions a day makes it all too easy to become dehydrated. I meal-prep my lunch and dinner to save time and effort and to ensure that all my meals are well-balanced. Snacks such as protein bars and bananas are also essential throughout the day, just to keep me ticking over in-between sessions.

Before training kicks off, you’ll find me… having a slow morning. I wake up at 8.30am and spend the first few hours going over our coaches’ reviews and previews of upcoming matches. I like to make sure I’m fully prepared, so like watching and analysing games. The morning is also a good time for catching up on personal admin before work really begins.

My kit bag isn’t complete without… my resistance bands (I like to do a band-based warm-up before the warm-up just to make sure I’m prepared) and spare batteries for my cochlear implant. I never go anywhere without those!

Recovery really revolves around… good nutrition and relaxation. I really try to avoid alcohol, low-nutrition foods and late nights – all of which hamper the recovery process. I swear by CBD muscle and joint balms for aches and pains, and mobility sessions are a non-negotiable. Stretching helps to get rid of any tightness and helps me to get in a good position for the next training session. My team’s lucky enough to have access to a lovely county club, where we use the pool and saunas as part of our post-training and match recovery.

I’m nervous before every game but… I see that a positive. I met the Olympian Linford Christie when I competing in an athletics meet as a child, and I remember him telling me that feeling nervous was a good thing. That conversation has stuck with me ever since – I live by it for any nerve-wracking situation.

I’m not a ‘role model’, but… I’m really excited to be putting a spotlight on women’s club rugby in the UK. Younger generations are constantly exposed to unrealistic standards on social media these days, so I always make a conscious effort to be as real and open as I can. It’s really important that younger girls can relate to you and see that’s possible to be different things in life. You just have to be able to see it to believe in it.

When you’re sick, you need something warm, comforting and packed with nourishing ingredients. You don’t want to spend hours faffing in the kitchen, either – the perfect dinner for a bad cold has to be whipped up in under 20 minutes. Mercifully, this vegan dan dan noodle dish ticks all the boxes.

You’ve got a hearty dose of protein from the tofu (you need protein to build and repair body tissue and fight viral and bacterial infections), along with a glut of inflammation-busting spices in the form of ginger, cinnamon, allspice and cumin. Allspice is thought to boast anticancer, antifungal, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as helping with blood sugar control. Cinnamon does the same kind of thing while being known to be loaded with antioxidants. In fact, the antioxidant effects of cinnamon are so powerful that you’re supposed to be able to use the spice as a natural food preservative. Ginger, meanwhile, is a go-to cold remedy. Its medicinal properties are again thought to reduce inflammation and soothe sore throats. It’s also thought to speed up cold recovery time by enhancing immunity, with one lab study finding that ginger stimulates the immune system to kill viruses. All in all, it’s a delicious way to beat the sniffles.
