Awards!!

I love getting rewarded for the hard work i put into my sport, it makes me more determined to improve!

I received a phone call a short while ago now from the York Press, i had been nominated for the Sporting Hero award at the York Press Community Pride Awards. Its always a great night full of very influncial and inspirational people. People who go the extra mile for the community or their passions within the community. 

I had been runner up at these awards previously in 2012/2013 and had such a great night, full of emotion and pride for the award winners and again this year there was no shortage of that!

I was a Finalist against a Retired Rugby Player who had taken up Personal Training to the local community, and doing a fantastic job to get people in shape and feeling fitter. Also in my catagory was a Rugby coach, who coached am U11 side, helping people from less privaliged backgrounds, in such ways as buying them kit and teaching them discipline. 

I am thrilled to say I won for my efforts this season, in Winning most things in Britain that are on offer. I however didnt feel such a hero as the rest of the people in the room, after all i just chuck a heavy ball about, and throw some weights around in a gym. Some of these people in the same room had saved lives, and helped provide support for others, which in my eyes deserves alot more than just this award! 

Anyway i had a great night, and i was privaliged to share a stage with these people! 

After the buzz of winning these awards, i recieved a letter from my local Council, and i have been nominated for another award, which is the Sports Person of the Year award, for the Hambleton Area! So cant wait to see what happens! i will keep you all posted, thanks to everyone who made the season what it was and who made the night as great as it was! 

Anyway time to head to the Gym! 

thanks for reading

Scotty!
