Grass Roots - 

At only 25 years of age Zoe has now been a professional snow sports athlete for several years having attended the Turin Olympics in 2006 and most recently the Vancouver Olympics in 2010.  Snowboarding is a somewhat young and developing sport, Zoe has made it her personal goal to interact with the youth of today and  pass on her experiences as a professional Olympic snowboard athlete  and try and open the door for the young children not just to experience the fun and enjoyment of a sport such as snowboarding but also the enjoyment of sport in general.

Since May 2007 Zoe has presented her Grass Roots initiative to several thousand children and young adults predominently in the UK but has also continued this in schools in Canada and France! Zoe speaks about how she first got involved in sport, how she reached the top level, the training involved, problems with injury, the benefits of sponsors (needless to say when they saw Zoes shiny BMW they all wanted to be  a professional snowboarder!) her experiences at the Turin Olympics in 2006, Vancouver 2010 and what it is like to be ranked No 1 in the world.  She also talks about what is is like to be in the media spotlight and even about how she featured in a national TV advert!

Zoe is aiming to further her commitment this year and realising the high costs involved in such sports as snowboarding, Zoe is currently working with business partners to try and provide the opportunity to the children to partake in these sports for free.
