This week, we are kicking off celebrating Women and Girls in sport week with one of our baton twirlers, Drew; 😁🙌🏻
“My name is Drew and I am 20 years old.
I have been doing baton twirling since I was 7yrs old so 13 years 🤯 and have been competing internationally representing Scotland since I was 10! 🏴
Over the years, I’ve achieved many milestones in twirling, but here are some highlights from the past two years. I was selected to train at the prestigious Oz Academy in France 🇫🇷 , became Celtic Cup Champion in both 2025 and 2026, placed 6th in Europe in Senior Women’s Freestyle in 2025, and achieved 12th in the World in Senior Women’s Freestyle in 2026 🥰🌍.
I have been using DG1 regularly since around 2022. I keep coming back to DG1 because it offers everything I need to support my training and wellbeing in one place. I use the hall for baton twirling, the gym to build my strength and fitness, and the swimming and sauna facilities to help with recovery. As someone who trains and competes at an international level, having access to these facilities makes such a difference. DG1 has become a big part of my routine, helping me work towards my goals, improve my performance and look after both my physical and mental wellbeing!
Never be afraid to dream big, take up space and go after what you’re passionate about. Don’t let the fear of failure stop you! Failure is part of growth, and every setback is a chance to come back stronger. Believe in yourself, even when it feels impossible. I hope my journey inspires more women and girls to be bold and realise that they are capable of far more than they imagine. There is no limit❤️”
