Hobbies & Interests
My biggest hobby is playing sport. My favourite sports to play include football, rugby, cricket, golf, and American football. I have only played American football, rugby, and cricket at a competitive level, but I still enjoy playing 5-a-side football and playing golf leisurely with friends and family. Watching sport is something I also do regularly, and I support teams for all the sports I play and watch them whenever I can. I especially like going to watch live sport where you get the whole experience. Other than sport I also enjoy photography and doing outdoor activity such as camping and hiking.
