Personal Statement
Welcome by Isabella Gill I have wanted to fence in the Olympic games since I was 10 years old. As I have dual nationality, once I proved myself in the UK, I was determined to test myself in the Italian national competitions as I consider Italian fencers to be amongst the toughest competitors in the world. This exposure to what is a very tough fencing environment has undoubtedly improved me as a competitor both physically and mentally. Throughout my fencing career, I have steadily improved, I am a very good learner, very dedicated and I always give my all on the piste. I am determined to continually improve as an athlete and I am realistic enough to know that the UK will not offer me the opportunity to improve once I leave school as the University based female fencing structure is weak. I want to fulfil both my sporting and academic ambitions and I believe that the US University system will give me the best possible platform to succeed.
