What Go Sisters means to me...by Charmaine Ayden

I’ve never been gifted at sport. Regretfully, I must confess that I was the unenthused girl that forged notes and complained of cramp to escape PE lessons. Frequently picked last for Hockey, Netball, Athletics (the list goes on), my coordination, stamina and dexterity left a lot to be desired. To sum up, the closest I’d ever got to sporting excellence was a topless David Beckham poster on my bedroom wall. 

Upon leaving school and continuing my studies, I decided that I wanted to progress into a career of fashion journalism. Surrounding myself with copies of Vogue, Harper’s and Elle, sadly my encounters with the sporting world became less and less. (I’d hate to reinforce stereotypes, but sport and fashion don’t often mix, unless you’re including Rafael Nadal in an Armani campaign that is).
