AMY PHAROAH RELISHING ENGLAND RETURN AND NEW INDOOR CHALLENGE |
|
A well-known face outdoors, Amy
has enjoyed a highly successful career on the green, representing
England in Commonwealth Games, World Championships and winning
numerous national and British titles. "I am so excited about being selected to play in the indoor international team - it's always an honour to pull on the England shirt," she said. "It's been a long time since I last played - 2011 - and I'm really looking forward to the challenge, playing with some old faces and alongside some new ones too." Amy's return to high-performance bowls indoors has been a gradual but determined journey, sparked by a visit to the Indoor National Championships a couple of years ago.  "Me and my dad went to have a watch and catch up with people, and that sparked my interest again," she explained. "With my son Harry being older and more independent, it seemed slightly easier to pick it up again. And then obviously this year, with the Commonwealth Games, that was extra incentive." Since then, Amy has thrown herself into the indoor game, enjoying the learning curve that comes with competing in a different environment. "Indoors is a new challenge for me and I'm learning every game," she said. One of the standout moments of her indoor career to date came at the World Open Singles in 2005, where she made history by qualifying as a woman in the event. "My greatest achievement indoors would be qualifying in the World Open Singles - as a woman, qualifying was brilliant," she said. "Sadly Robert Newman beat me on a tie break in the first game, but these things happen," she added with a laugh. As the season progresses, Amy has a clear performance mindset. "My aims for this season - obviously I have been part of the Commonwealth Games process and that would be great," she said. "But I have smaller process goals related to performance rather than outcomes." Sian Honnor.
