Ailsa Davie: “I remember feeling as a child that something was wrong with me, but I didn’t know why.” One final interview for 2024, looking at the impact of dyspraxia on getting involved in - and sticking with - sport. https://t.co/r2ABeQiRm1

Ailsa Davie always loved sport growing up, but undiagnosed dyspraxia meant that she never felt like she could fully immerse herself in it – until recently.

Natalie Deans decided to work towards boxing at the Gay Games on a whim – but it completely changed her life outside of the ring in the best possible way.

Craig Kyle: "I suppose I have one of the more unique coming out stories!" Growing up in Hawick, Craig Kyle barely had a choice to play rugby, but it was his boyfriend that led him into other sports - and coming out in the national media! https://t.co/4w5YnhJRtM
